Some of this work,such as mowing hazardous <br /> vegetation and removing windstorm debris and invasive vegetation, requires heavy equipment,which, coupled with the <br /> heavy use the trail already receives, can cause accelerated deterioration of the trail. <br /> "The gravel base will help maintain the structural integrity of the trail," says Natural Resource Crew Supervisor Richard <br /> Zucker. The current work will augment the section of the trail that was reinforced last year.
