Report Type: TM Report:
Trail Name: West Rock Ridge SP
Town: Hamden
Trail Conditions: Drying out
Observations/Information: I was part of a group of four people from the West Rock Ridge Association doing invasive species removal on the Red and Red-White Dot Trail off the Hill St. parking lot at West Rock. We cut back the autumn olive at the entry to the Red Trail off the hayfield, so people can see it better from the gravel road. We also cut some multi-flora rose, which has become a real problem in that area because it grows completely across the trail, and there's no way around it. We pulled out lots of bittersweet vines that are killing trees and pulling them down. On the way out, I carried out the trunk lid to a very old car that has been along the trail to the pond. I let the state know I left it by the parking lot, so they can remove it permanently. We encountered a few dog walkers. The muddy section of trail here is still muddy and a couple of the others expressed interest in doing some armoring as a future project. The other parts of the trail are dry.
