Scotts Flat Recap

BONC had another great effort on the Scott's Flat Trail last Sunday. BONC joined forces with the Nevada Onions team to clear this badly overgrown trail. Lots of lopping and trimming as two power hedgetrimmers blazed along. We cleared the section from the boat launch heading west to the dam.

This spring, we can do some additional work to repair the muddy sections on this trail. In the meantime, it would be useful you could bring handheld clippers on our rides down there and trim back the trail east of the boat launch just a bit at a time.

Thank you to all participants! It is great we showed NID that we can successfully work on projects like this. It bodes well for other NID trail projects.

RECAP: Scotts Flat Trail Day

This afternoon's trail event at Scott's Flat Lake was fun, rewarding and successful. A big thanks to  BONC, AmeriCorps and Land Trust volunteers and NID for allowing us to improve this BONC-adopted trail. See pictures.

With a solid showing, we continued to rock armor a marshy section and installed small culverts to allow water to drain away from the trail bed. We also rebuilt rock cribbing where the trail started to erode away, re-established a bench cut where the trail was disappearing, pruned the entire length of the trail and planted some posts with BONC signs. Ride or hike it soon and see what you think.

Next up: Bullards Bar Trail Day on March 17th.
