Trail Builders School Comes to Keweenaw

In August a Trail Building School was held in Copper Harbor. The 2 day
school was well attended with over 40 people at the lectures on Saturday
and work session Sunday. Building sustainable, low maintence trails to
national standards was the emphasis.
Sunday morning the group put its newly attained knowledge to practice by
building a badly needed 1,200 foot re-route in the James D. Rooks
Memorial N.S. at Garden Brook, one mile south of Copper Harbor. It was a
great learning experience and the knowledge will certainly be applied in
the Keweenaw.
