[QUOTE="Tod, post: 1252186, member: 32697"] Tahuya is still closed. Here is an update from the Washington Department of Natural Resources. ++++++ Hello, Tahuya/Green Mtn. Focus Group Members and others interested in recreation in these areas. I just wanted to update everyone on this list that all trails, trailheads, and campgrounds in Tahuya and Green Mountain State Forests are still temporarily closed due to the unsafe conditions from the severe flooding caused by the storm damage. Our trail crew and volunteers are working hard to fix the problem areas. Our goal is to re-open the trail system by the last weekend in January. This is not a guarantee and the trail system will be offered with some limitations due to several trail bridges and sections of forest roads being severely damaged. I have received many requests for ways you can help fix the trail problems associated with the flooding from the storm damage. Last Saturday the DNR hosted trail work parties at both Tahuya State Forest and Green Mountain State Forest. We had a good turnout considering the harsh weather conditions. Most of the trail damage is related to erosion of the trail tread resulting in deep rutting. Heavy equipment, utilized by our trail crew, will be the only way to fix some of the problems. They are working hard at this time to fix these areas, but they can only cover so many miles at a time. For those interested we are going to have another work party beginning at 9:00 AM on January 19th, 2008, located at the Elfendahl Staging Trail Head in Tahuya State Forest and Gold Creek Trail Head in Green Mountain State Forest. The goal will be to install some culverts, waterbars, check dams, fill ruts, and re-route short sections of trail. The DNR has a limited capacity to coordinate a lot of volunteers, so please only attend if you have trail maintenance and rebuilding experience. We do not have enough equipment and personal protective gear to outfit you either, so please bring shovels, pulaskis, gloves, hardhats, chaps, saws, etc…Attached are the mandatory volunteer sign up sheets, please have these filled out for the day of the work party if you plan on attending. Also, I have included some good trail maintenance technique drawings for your reference. For any questions concerning this work party please contact Ray Minish, at the following email address: [email]ray.minish@dnr.wa.gov[/email] Again, Locations: Tahuya State Forest (Eflendahl Staging Trail Head) and Green Mtn. State Forest (Gold Creek Trail Head) Date: Saturday, January19th Time: 9:00 AM Sam Jarrett WA DNR- SPS Region Recreation Manager- Belfair/Hood Canal Units [/QUOTE]
