 Join us on National Trails Day!

Saturday June 7 – NH Trails Day – Winslow Trail, Mt. Kearsarge. Trailwrights will be partnering with DRED and SRKGC performing needed maintenance on the Winslow Trail in Winslow State Park. This is a National Trails day project. Meet 8:30 At the park. Bring Gloves, lunch, good footwear, other clothing of choice. No experience needed. Tools are supplied. Bring your headnet for probable blackfly intervention.

Yes, the Winslow Trail is “off” the Greenway, which uses the longer but less rocky & slippery Barlow Trail to the same destination. But that Winslow-Summit-Barlow loop is one of the most popular trail loops in NH. It gets wear and tear by “over-loved syndrome.” Trailwrights built the Barlow Trail (with local helpers) in 1997. And Trailwrights has come back and helped the SRK Greenway on the Barlow and Summit trails since then. We like Trailwrights people. Let’s help them help the trails.

 

DATE: June 7th, Saturday
WHERE: Mount Kearsarge, Winslow State Park, Wilmot NH
WHAT: Repair and improve the Winslow Trail from Winslow parking up to its junction with the Barlow Trail
HOW: Help Trailwrights volunteers and learn how trail best practices makes life both easier and happier.

Talking Trails at Main Street Bookends

“Talking Trails”

A roundtable discussion on Sunday April 13
at MainStreet BookEnds Warner 

Hiking trails in the Pillsbury-Sunapee-Kearsarge region will be the topic Sunday afternoon, April 13, of a roundtable discussion at MainStreet BookEnds in Warner. 

The importance of connecting recreational hikers to land conservation organizations will be one of the topics for discussion as participants look at maps and discuss how maintaining and building trails helps to retain the region’s rural character as population continues to grow.

Conversations will include:
o    Regional trails and trail systems including the SRK Greenway.
o    The role of hiking and recreational trails in our quality of life and the region’s economy;
o    Future trails: what about connecting Pillsbury State Park with Mount Kearsarge?
o    Opportunities / obstacles to the process of trail collaboration among groups. 

The meeting Sunday afternoon will be from 2 to 4 PM in Warner at MainStreet BookEnds, 16 East Main Street.
