Join us for a day of bridge building on the brand new Nilsen’s leg. on September 10, 2022, meet at 9 AM at school parking lot on Route 3 in Pittsburg NH. just north of Route 145, in downtown Pittsburg. In addition, we will be having a small celebration with pizza and beverages at 530PM on Saturday after the workday. This will be held at a Lake Francis state park shelter, look for the signs near campsite #22. Rain date of September 24th! We will be only able to park a limited number of vehicles at the site and so we will be transporting volunteers to the south start of the new trail. The primary purpose of the workday is to put in puncheon spans in the wet areas of the trail. Bring lunch, gloves, water, and your enthusiasm for a fun day of working on the new trail. We also will have crews blazing the trail, un-blazing and un-signing the old route. Plus, we will have a crew putting up new signs and blazes on existing paths. We have limited tent sites available at Lake Francis State Park, but if interested in camping Friday or Saturday nights contact Ken Vallery, [email protected] to reserve a TCTA site or go directly to the State parks website.

Much of the trail construction was completed in four weeks this summer by a hard-working youth conservation crew from Northwoods Stewardship Center. This crew was funded by a NH RTP grant from the State Division of Natural and Cultural Resources, Trails bureau. Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a competitive grant program that offers funding for quality public trail projects throughout New Hampshire. Limited grants are available for motorized, non-motorized and diversified trails. Additional match funding for this new trail comes from an anonymous donor, who has been a strong supporter of trail projects for us over a number of years.
