Workday at Greene Sullivan State Forest.
The ITRA, in cooperation with the Greene County Horse Council and DNR, had a workday at the Greene Sullivan State Forest on June 13th. Three ITRA members, Yvette Rollins and Carl and Trisha Lohkamp, worked all day with three additional people from the Greene County Horse Council and six DNR people. Four of the DNR people were part of the Youth Conservation Corps. Steve Siscoe, the property manager for the State, identified the task we were to accomplish and provided the expertise and needed equipment, including a nearly new John Deere tractor with loader and posthole digger. A John Deere gator was also provided for hauling materials and for traversing trails for installation of trail markers and removal of downed trees. Three mounting blocks and three benches were installed, one each at three locations, the Day Rider Trailhead, Reservoir 29 and Tremble Lake. The benches at Reservoir 29 and Tremble Lake provide beautiful views of their respective lakes. Very positive comments were received already on June 14th from users of the newly installed mounting blocks and benches. All the mounting blocks and benches used #53 stone around each buried leg and around the mounting blocks and in front of the benches. The height of the benches in each case was approved by Yvette after testing confirmed her feet would touch the stone in front of the benches. A misleading photograph was taken of Vice President Yvette Rollins and Director Carl Lohkamp on and beside a newly installed mounting block. You may guess who was on the mounting block and who was beside the mounting block when the photo was snapped. Beware quick viewing of photos may lead to false impressions!
