Select The Forest For Future

Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest

Swallow nest?

Last week I completed the flagging of the new trail. All together it's about 5 miles long, on rolling terrain, with 17 stream crossings. We are already looking to contract a skidder or bobcat with a mulching head to clear the trail. With any luck this trail should be completed within a year. Here are some pictures of what you might expect to find while out on the trail.
