    Default 2023 DFP Trail Trimming Status

    Trail trimming season is quickly approaching and we're trying a new method to get it done this year.

    If you have a couple hours to help, pick a section, or more than one ;), on the map below and go to town trimming back vegetation that is encroaching on the trails. We usually trim at least 2 feet to each side of the trail. Leave any trees within this zone obviously. FORC has a handful of trimmers we can loan you. Post below if you need one and we can make arrangements. Once a section is completed, let us know so we can update this thread.

    Recommended gear for trimming: Long pants/shirt, sturdy shoes, eye protection, bug head net, water/snack.


    Section | Status
    1 - Front Green Loop | Fully Trimmed
    2 - Back Green Loop | Fully Trimmed
    3 - Loam Ranger 1 | Fully Trimmed
    4 - Loam Ranger 2 | Fully Trimmed
    5 - Loam Ranger 3 | Fully Trimmed
    6 - Unkle Rukus 1 | Fully Trimmed
    7 - Unkle Rukus 2 | Shaggy
