Cardigan Highlanders Volunteer Trail Crew
3rd Saturday of the Month
To aid your planning, we will schedule a work day on the 3rd Saturday of each month during the trailwork season. If we must cancel that day due to foul weather or other unforeseeable factors, we will use the next day, Sunday as our backup day. We will schedule other work days as jobs and/or available crews pop up, but you can count on there being a work day on the 3rd Saturday of the month.

2024 Season Starts Soon...
We seem to have made it through this would-be winter with not much snow but five mud seasons. Snow's about melted, we can start patrolling trails. This note is just to say that we'll start soon, but conditions are not quite ready.
Gates are still across roads at Cardigan and at Kearsarge. Brooks are high at all our trails on Sunapee. I am patrolling Cole Pond Trail because it is reachable.
One job we may do soon is to build a 14' bridge by Forest Service design on existing abutments at the Enfield Shaker Museum.
They order lumber and provide a place to store materials. We laminate 3 2x12x14' stringers, and cut some other pieces. The site is on an old road, and they move materials to site. One session salvaging the site, then one to assemble the bridge. Likely in the next two weeks.
There are also patrols of Enfield trails at Bicknell Brook and at Harris Brook reservoir. Interested volunteers please email us at [email protected].
Happy Spring! All the best, Craig
