Saturday Work Party: Pisgah Brook/Knocker’s Hole

Saturday March 18th, 9:00am-12:00pm, Pisgah Brook/Knocker’s Hole

There have been a lot of on-going projects in these Town-owned parcels and the trail network is extensive. If you have not hiked through these woods, this would be a great time to check out the trail! During this project, we hope to achieve a number of trail improvement tasks. Heading east on the red and white (Branford) trails, a number of smaller sections of the trail have been flooding after rain events and need some maintenance in order to better drain. Some sections of the trail need hardscaping to improve footing over muddy areas. We intend to use local materials for the hardscaping.

What to bring: waterproof boots, hand tools (spades, rakes, grub hoe, pickaxe, pry bar, etc.), work gloves. I will have extra tools on hand for those who don’t have access to them.

Where to park: park in the gravel lot off Laurel Hill Road. The closest navigable address is 154 Laurel Hill Road. The parking lot entrance is just north of this private residence. There is a wooden trail kiosk at the entrance to the parking lot.
