We’re pleased to have completed a major project at the Merritt Family Forest!
Three new heavy duty bog bridges were built and installed on the property, along with a large bridge over the stream near the intersection of the blue and red trails. It was a big undertaking led by Tom Olson, who designed the project and led the building effort.
Purchasing, delivering, and moving the materials to the build sites was a huge undertaking. We estimate that approximately 4,000 pounds of lumber, 200 pounds of concrete, and various equipment needed to be carried to the appropriate sites before the construction could even begin.
This difficult task was completed by 11 volunteers from Pfizer, members of our stewardship crew (including Steve Fagin), and two members of the Tri-Town Trail group. We are fortunate to have such good people helping us with all we do.
Funding was provided by a grant from the Kitchings Foundation. Many thanks for their support.
