Building (Labor):
The Henley Hornets Trail has been further cleared and some more of the tread has been leveled. A new temporary 3-log bridge is being constructed at the first stream crossing (needs to be finished).

The trail around the Greyrock ponds and to the Waylands Grant playground has been cleared. There is some erosion that needs to be remediated with steps and intentional drainage ways. This project will hopefully take place in the next month or so with help from the Greyrock neighbrhood.

There will be a more in-depth trail building training session in the fall for all current and new trail builders.

Planning (Logistics):
Dan and Brandon met with Duane Zobrist to discuss possible projects for Eagle scout candidates.

The County has an opportunity to accept a dedication for trail segments in Old Trail. The CTC will write a letter of support for accepting the dedication and to ofer to assist in the maintenance of the trails once they are constructed.

There was discussion about how information should be passed from the community members, through the CTC and to the County.

There will be a more in-depth discussion about the structure of the CTC at a future meeting.

Dan Mahon will write a resolution requesting the adoption of a Crozet Trails Day in the fall. This resolutions will be presented to the CCA, the CCAC, and the Board of Supervisors.
