Proposed Trail Work August 10th Trail Day... In preparation for next July’s 150th Anniversary of the Battle at Kennesaw Mountain on our August Trail Day, we’ll be improving a roadway and trails that will see heavy use. All the work is designed to make the trails safe and enjoyable. We’ll ask volunteers to help in building up and renewing the roadway along West portion of Old John Ward Road. There will be machinery in use assisted by hand tools to make the roadway more user friendly. I’ll ask a crew to work on the Assault trail at the section going into woods from Cheatham Hill Road toward Illinois Monument. This work is essential to making area safer for planned future work on the trail bypass; and will be essential to allowing equipment to get into the area. There is work planned to repair washout (gully) section at steep grade on the East Kolb Farm loop trail, about a half mile from Cheatham Hill Road. Several months ago we did work on the site to lessen or stop water that was cascading down the hill; that appears to have been successful. (Thank you all); so now we’re going to reinforce the gully/ ditch to make it better suited for hiker, runner and especially horse traffic. Please plan to check in by 8:30 am @ the field across from Cheatham Hill Road parking lot. We’ll have special parking for volunteers. All tools are provided; we have some work gloves available (may bring own). Please wear work type clothing and shoes/boots. The Trail Club will provide water and snacks and a Porta -Let will be on site. (Note: we’ll have check in stations by the traditional Old Hwy 41 parking lot and Cheatham Hill Road Parking Lot - NOT THE ROAD THAT GOES TO ILLINOIS MONUMENT, OFF DALLAS HWY/WHITLOCK RD). Come join us for a morning of service to our park and enjoy the wonderful fellowship among all our volunteers.
