Forest Roads Project
The Forest Roads Project is an ongoing effort to create and maintain an unpaved road system for better ATV and tractor access to the 395 acres of the Camp. This project is part of the Stewardship Initiative, especial helpful in Land Stewardship and Forestry Stewardship because it opens the 369 acres of Camp forest to better management, including firewood harvest and forestry management. It will also potentially improve emergency access into the forest for fire fighting and rescue purposes.
Forest Roads Project uses the Forest Roads tag on Threads.
