SilverFern & StormWolf
Hey SilverFern, the ridge trail’s been getting pretty rough from all the pack’s traffic. Got any ideas on how to keep the path clear without damaging the fragile soil or the seedlings nearby?
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.
