This covers the regularly scheduled workday for March. We were to remove, repair, or replace fencing from the bridge on Pigeon Hill to the section of fencing below French’s Loop.
We had nine crew leaders for the workday, seven Trail Ambassadors, two PSARs, and 83 volunteers. The volunteers were from Hillgrove JROTC (26), Allatoona JROTC (2), a combination of Kell, Lassiter, and Pope JROTC (11), KSU Delta Sigma Pi (8), KSU Cross County Team (20), Impact Partners (8), Airgas (3) and individuals that signed up on the Friends website (5).
Group 1 did lines 1, 2, and 3 of the workplan with volunteers from Kell, Lassiter, and Pope JROTC unit, Airgas, and part of the KSU Cross County Team. They also did some deberming from the bridge to Burnt Hickory Road when finished.
Group 2 did lines 4 and 5 of the workplan with volunteers from KSU Delta Sigma Pi, Allatoona JROTC unit, Impact Partners, individuals, and part of the KSU Cross County Team.
Group 3 did lines 6 and 7 of the workplan with volunteers from the Hillgrove JROTC unit.
Fred took pictures and I bounced between the three groups, ensuring they were following the workplan and park procedures. Geoff monitored the parking lot.
Thanks to Norm for getting the port-a-potty in place and Michael for bringing the new fencing over.
We have new Crew Leader training scheduled for Saturday, April 18 from 8:30 to 1:00.
Our next workday is Saturday, April 14th. We will be working on the horse steps on the Hardage Mill Trail. If we have extra volunteers, we will perform cyclic maintenance starting at the northern intersection of the Noses Creek with the Hardage Mill Trail to the northern side of Noses Creek. We will meet at the Pigeon Hill parking Lot.
