North Shore Land Alliance Thanks Our Skilled Volunteer Tim Hanes for Protecting Our Trails, Making Them Ready for Hikers to Enjoy.
This year, we observed a small degree of trail erosion and muddy conditions at the Smithers Connector Parcel. In some areas of the trail water would pool, ruts would form in the mud and the ground would become unstable. Luckily, we have volunteers from all walks of life with a wide array of skills.
Tim Hanes is one of them, with a knack for carpentry. Tim generously donated over 30 hours of his time to design, source, and construct new bridges and paths throughout the trail system. Every week in the spring, Tim was either in our parking lot cutting lumber to size or in the connector parcel putting the pieces together to create these amazing walkways. His skills helped protect the preserve and visitors alike. Now thanks to Tim, our trails are stabilized and ready for hikers to enjoy.
