Using Tools and Getting Dirty: Trail Construction

The Northwood Chesapeak Bay trail is almost complete. Many major obstacles have been overcome as the snow has disappeared allowing for major progress. A large hole in the middle of the trail has been filled with dirt from the transit center. The team received dirt from the Silver Spring Transit center because it has been under cement and structures for many years. The sterile nature of the dirt helps to prevent the transportation of invasive species. In addition, student volunteers have been benching the sidehill and making the trail smoother and easier to walk on. We hope to complete the trail very soon. Please come help on April 25th at Kaplan Stadium behind Northwood High School to participate in a trash cleanup and invasive species removal work day.
