Susquehanna River Trail Middle Section
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED IN NOVEMBER
Two SRTA volunteers and two DCNR Bureau of Forestry staff teamed up on November 3 to maintain seven islands in the southern half of the Middle Section. The crew used a jon boat to service the designated campsites on islands 82, 81a, 81b, 74a, 74b, 73a, and 73b. Where needed, signs were replaced brush cut, and branches pruned. Logbooks were collected, too. A few sites were absent posts and the metal ammo boxes used to house the logbooks. They will be replaced in the spring.
