PETOSKEY — The Little Traverse Conservancy is making good progress in clearing trails affected by the late-March ice storm, but some areas still need to be cleaned up.
According to the conservancy, the group has been prioritizing the most heavily used trails for clean-up first. The team is making its way down the list, while also managing time-sensitive and previously contracted projects at the same time.
“Nearly 100 of our nature preserves and reserves include at least a short trail, with more than 125 miles of trails in total,” said executive director Kieran Fleming in a June 12 statement. “We appreciate your patience as we continue working to reopen them all as quickly and safely as possible.”
The conservancy thanked the volunteers, local businesses, Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation and Charlevoix County Community Foundation for their help as clean-up efforts continue.
The conservancy also welcomes any volunteers who are interested in joining a work day or who can help in other ways. If you are interested, contact volunteer coordinator Cacia Lesh at cacia@landtrust.org or (231) 347-0991.
