Crow’s Nest: New footbridge to Deep Woods Trail

Thanks to Force of Nature volunteer Matthew Roberson, the footbridge I started building two years ago is finished! I just couldn’t find the time to fit that project into my schedule, and Matthew, a restoration carpenter and Natural Lands Trust volunteer, identified this as a project that he would like to finish.

Matthew, whose normal work is probably a bit less rustic than this, was able to copy the design of outriggers for the handrails that I had started and match it on the remaining three corners. I think trail users will be as delighted as I am that there is now an easy way to get over the ditch and into the Deep Woods.
