Report Type: TM Report
Trail Name: West Rock Ridge SP
Town: Hamden
Trail Conditions: Good
Observations/Information: From January to June, I put in
27 hours worth of work at West Rock on the Red and Red-White Trails, mostly
near Farm Brook Reservoir. I placed a heavy emphasis on cutting the autumn
olive shrubs that line the open field, along with cutting and pulling other
assorted invasives, including bittersweet vines and thorny multi-flora rose
shrubs. The Red Trail that I created along Farm Brook Reservoir had parts that
were quickly becoming overgrown, so I cut that back in June. The Red-White
Trail from the top of the field to the gravel road portion of the Red Trail needs
a good pruning back. That will be my next project. in particular, the
bittersweet vines are growing along and across the trail.
