Trail Runs Through It - Robyn Price NRCM

The Northern Rockies Recovery Crew of the Montana Conservation Corps worked on the construction of the Trail Runs Through It (www.trailrunsthroughit.org) outside of Whitefish for its first hitch in early June. The crew completed tasks such as drainage work, throwing slash, outsloping, thinning, and an overall restoration of the landscape. We worked on the trail with the Forestoration; Ecosystem Management crew, (www.forestoration.org), which is overseeing project management. The goal was to restore the landscape into a natural habitat for indigenous species and people to enjoy. The trail is still in construction but when completed the public can use the trail to bike, hike, and horseback ride. We appreciate the opportunity to work on the trail and look forward to the people enjoying their experience with the Trail Runs Through It.

Take nothing for granted. Not one blessed, cool mountain day or one hellish, desert day or one sweaty, stinky, hiking companion. It is all a gift.
