Circuit 8 Revitalization Project – Phase I Complete

Circuit 8 Revitalization Project – Phase I Complete

The NSMBA is pleased to announce the completion of Phase 1 to revitalize the Circuit 8 trail network thanks to support from the Young Foundation.
The restorative work was led by Pat Podolski and Todd "Digger" Fiander and conducted through February & March of this year.  Thanks to the leadership from Mathew Bond, a public trail day was held in March 2014.

The labor intensive work required deep pockets of mud to be removed from low lying areas and raised trail bed created to ensure proper drainage. Much of the erosion on the descent to Fisherman's has been alleviated with realignment at the bottom and restorative work at the top.

Please open the below Impact Report for photos of the restorative work including before/after pics.

Thank you to Pat, Digger & Mathew Bond for their leadership and hard work on this one!
