MN Bert Turner, MN Bill Toland, and I ( MN Martha Bowden) made a trip to Bull Shoals State Park to teach a class on trail building to the new North Central Arkansas Master Naturalist in Training. What a fantastic group of people! The class started with an excellent power point and a demonstration of tools by Bert and Bill. We enjoyed lunch together and then all headed out to a trail to put our hands on the tools. Again, with Bert and Bill’s guidance, we learned to evaluate a trail and then use the tools correctly and safely.
The park’s trails are still closed due to the ice storm so this group has a lot of work to do. They have named their group The Trail Patrol and NIT Dwan Garrision is organizing the effort. You all can make a huge difference!
