Phase II of the White Oak Trail renovation project, a distance of about 1,700 feet, is nearing completion. By the end of September this section of the trail will be reopened. Phase II entailed widening two bridges to seven feet, installing numerous drainage culverts, adding underlayment, and the spreading of 80 tons of stone dust on long stretches of trail. A new section of boardwalk and a deck overlooking a vernal pool will also be constructed. This work is being done by ten volunteers of the Friend’s Construction Crew, and is funded by Friends and U.S. Fish & Wildlife. Work on Phase III, the last 1,700 feet of the trail, will begin in Spring 2023.
