Short Description of Activity
met with trails groups, Forest Service, SJCA and discussed how to clear trails on Pagosa District. The goal was to show that SSJ Broads is willing to step up and help clear trails with other groups. And to make contacts with user groups primarily interested in trails access.
Reflection/Evaluation
Groups are focused on trail access, while SJCA and Broads protect wilderness. We can work together and show that crosscut saws can achieve the goals of clearing all trails in 3 years. I am concerned that Columbine District is not as well organized, yet is not getting the pressure that Pagosa is getting from user groups. It would be advantageous to also meet with the Southwest Colorado Trails Roundtable in November.
