Samish Crest Trail Update


The map shows two dashed lines.

The yellow dashed line indicates an existing foot path where we plan to place gravel as a maintenance activity. We plan to do this maintenance later this year (2012 or early 2013).

The magenta dashed line indicates a section of existing trail we are planning to improve. Construction is anticipated to begin May 2013, and we expect the work to take a month to complete.

Are you ready?

Those of us on the West Coast have received a strong reminder from the East Coast this past week of the importance of preparations in case of emergencies and disasters.

What if disaster struck us here? What would you do? What would your family do?

Now is a good time to get prepared. See below for easy steps.
