Bog Bridge Repair
We'll take advantage of some (hopefully) lovely fall weather to replace a dozen bog bridges near Old Adams Rd and perform some routine maintenance at nearby Noepel Shelter. Materials will be waiting for us near the work site, so no heavy lumber to carry in.Maintenance at Upper Goose Pond Cabin
We will perform end of season maintenance projects at beautiful Upper Goose Pond Cabin in (hopefully) spectacular fall foliage. Cut/split/stack firewood, minor repairs to the cabin windows and doors. Service privies.Close Upper Goose Pond Cabin

Our transect will take us to the area we are considering for the relocation of the Shaker Campsite. We are studying this area to determine if we can establish a campsite here without disturbing the local wildlife.A.T. Corridor Boundary Maintenance - Day 1
Ever wondered about how the A.T. is able to make its way through the Berkshires with minimal road walks? Come join us as we maintain the boundary lines of the narrow corridor lands that surround the Trail. Keeping these boundaries visible and monitoring their condition is critical to preserving A.T. values as it travels through the "front country" of the Berkshires. This project will spend two days near Dalton maintaining the Corridor boundary by clipping brush, painting blazes and replacing any missing signage.A.T. Corridor Boundary Maintenance - Day 2
Ever wondered about how the A.T. is able to make its way through the Berkshires with minimal road walks? Come join us as we maintain the boundary lines of the narrow corridor lands that surround the Trail. This is a continuation of work begun on Oct 21st.Mt Williams Viewshed Clearing

The Mt Williams view on the A.T. in the Mt Greylock State Reservation has once again closed in. It's been quite awhile since we cleared the tall shrubbery which now blocks the view, so it's time to clear it again. Loppers and hand saws should do the trick and we can enjoy the view when we're done!
