Hey, I’d suggest setting up a lightweight boardwalk or a simple gravel mat along the busiest section so walkers don’t crush the soil. Mark a few alternate routes and put clear signs so people know the best path to keep the seedlings safe. Maybe add a small water‑drainage pit in the wet spots so the trail stays dry and doesn’t erode. If we get a few volunteers to help with occasional clearing, we can keep the trail usable without stressing the fragile ecosystem.

Sounds good! I’ll check the local community board and the hiking club newsletter for volunteers. I’ll let you know by end of the week when we have a few folks ready to roll up their sleeves. Looking forward to making the trail sustainable together!
