Beauty/Phoebes Nable Trail Work

Just an update...we hadn't been on our trails in a few so we spent a couple days this past week getting trails back in order. Their was a blowdown at the Beauty Ledge/Knob junction that took down smaller trees and blocked the intersection. We cleared that up as well as other areas cleaning up branches and cutting back trees that had grown in. Also did the same on the Phoebes Nable trails. Happy hiking :)

"Come See the Re-stored View!" (pictures)

I accompanied the Forest Society's Interns Eric and Will on a Phoebes Nable Mt. view-cut. It was in dire need of some tree felling! While they cut away on the steep slope of the South side of the summit I worked on trimming the upper portions of the trail and placed a couple large stone steps. The view now opens up below with a barn visible that sits in front of a pond on New Portsmouth Rd. You can see part of the pond on Mountain Road and beyond to the South Road clearing and marshes and mountains beyond. Hoping later in the year or next year on getting more area cut and worked on :)
