Gile Forest Logging in progress along Morgan Pond Road
HIKERS TAKE CARE ON TRAIL 5 OF SRK GREENWAY
| SRKGC has been informed by the NH Forest and Lands folks that hikers & other users of Gile State Forest should take care during winter 2010 and stay clear of logging activity.
The bulldozer plowed the road into the landing late December and other equipment is now operating. NH Lands Bureau does not know how long the sale will run but anticipate that it will be active throughout the winter unless unforeseen weather events happen that delay or temporarily stop the operation. This does not mean that public use cannot take place. Gile State Forest is a public property and is open for all to enjoy. It just means there may be a truck traveling that stretch of road 2 or 3 times during the day. The only restriction is that we keep the public out of the active sale area for safety’s sake (where the trees are being cut and skidded). |
