Swamp Bridges

Mosquitos swarmed and sweat soaked them but two bridges now enhance the Natural Pine Forest trail off the Dixie Mainline. Refuge Ranger Jason Coates, Matthew Usry, Refuge forestry intern, Aiden Horne, Youth Conservation Corps volunteer, and Friends board member Debbie Meeks installed them last week.
This new trail is described in the Friends brochure Hiking Trails Along the Dixie Mainline.

This was the only way across before.

Matt, Aiden and Jason engineer a step on the long bridge.

The new bridge is a big improvement.
