10 crew leaders, 6 rangers, and 123 volunteers met in the inner parking lot at Wildwood Park. The work area spread over 1 mile of trail. 86 volunteers were assigned to 7 crews led by SMMTC crew leaders. Work areas had been flagged in advance on March 16 by Jon Sheldon, John Kross, lead ranger Bruce Pace and ranger Joe Neary. Crew leaders were provided with a list of issues to be address in their assigned trail segment. Crew leaders gave safety talks to their crews, assigned tools, and proceeded to their assigned work area. The trail was severely rutted with lots of loose rocks and not enough drains. Also narrowed by brush in some areas, with overgrown lemonade berry branches growing on to the trail. Our crews addressed all of those issues, with a wheelbarrow crew bringing in dirt to the most severely rutted areas towards the top, and water in special backpacks to dampen and compact the dirt. Many new drains were installed and several old drains were improved. Total volunteer hours: 86 x 6 = 516 Feet maintained: 5,300
