| RESULTS FOR Sat-Mon. 09/02-04/2006 VOC Mohawk Lakes Service Project |
| 108 volunteers participated on Saturday, 103 on Sunday, and 48 on Monday. All told, over this weekend, 284 volunteer days and 2,200 hours of volunteer stewardship were generated on our local National Forest lands. Starting at the upper trailhead (located at the very end of Spruce Creek Road) and continuing to lower Mohawk Lake, these volunteers performed the critical and challenging work of restoring and rerouting 1-½ miles of this popular trail. They built 121 steps, 23 chiseled rock steps, 10 cairns, 28 waterbars, 37 knicks, a 20 ft. log bridge, a 10 ft. 2-tier rock wall, a 5 ft. mono wall, a 10 ft. mono wall, a 30 ft. turnpike, 60 ft. stepping stones, and closed 2,525 feet of social trails. In doing so, they helped create a single, safe, sustainable, habitat-friendly route to Mohawk Lakes. A special thanks goes out to VOC for hosting this, and several other trail projects and training sessions this summer in Summit County. Through their partnerships with FDRD and other local public lands agencies, much needed trail maintenance was accomplished on local trails that otherwise would not have been completed.
