The Porter trail from Marcy Field needs some work since I wasn’t able to mount any group effort last year. I’m hoping to get enough that we can both clear the blowdown and finish some clipping. Before the Chapter took it over three years ago, it had suffered from many years of neglect, but we have made some good progress.

We will meet at Marcy Field and shuttle to the top of the private roads, which brings us to within about five minutes of the summit of Little Porter. This is above the private property that has closed the trail from the Garden. We will return to Marcy Field via Blueberry. 

 The Chapter has a “Katanaboy 25” saw, which I will bring, along with some new clippers that fit easily into a pack, but can still cut 1+” branches. We will need other hand saws of various sizes to take the smaller blowdown. A sharp axe would also be appropriate, but obviously this is not chain saw season.

Others are welcome as well. Let me know if you are able to help, so I can plan the shuttles. If you can’t do the trailwork, but have a 4WD vehicle for the shuttle, let me know.
