The new parking area at Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest is slowly moving ahead. The gravelled parking area is complete and a kiosk framed has been erected. I am still working on the signage for the parking area as well as for the trail and along the road to direct people to this area instead of parking near our shop complex. The picnic shelter for the parking area has been awarded and construction should begin in late July/early August. I am currently working on plans for a horse corral and non-potable water source. There will also be an equestrian mounting block and several hitching posts for use.
I am also continuing work to contract out the trail clearing for the new trail that will stretch from the new parking area out to Rt. 618 near the intersection with Rt. 24. This trail will be multiple use and will give users a good tour of the various ecosystems found on the forest. My hope is to have the parking area ready for full use by Fall of 2010 and then new trail ready by Spring 2011.
