Wednesday, September 9, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon NEW TRAIL: Volunteers made new trail link happen over years Continued from page 3 Eckford were instrumental <boots on the ground= in get- ting the trail approved and built. They worked closely with Forest Service person- nel to gain approval for the new trail and through that process ended up creating a bifurcated trail with north and south legs to avoid a wildlife habitat zone. The Forest Service engaged a Youth Conser- vation Corps crew to build about half of the trail while STA worked on approval to resume volunteer work dur- ing COVID. Once safety protocols were in place, STA volunteers enthusiastically took to the work, finish- ing the trail and fine-tuning and signing the entire new section. The new trail exemplifies STA9s mission, <to connect people and communities to each other and their natural surroundings.= STA is a nonprofit orga- nization whose volun- teers maintain close to 200 miles of trails, including the Peterson Ridge Trail System. A free map of the local trails, produced by STA and supported by our local businesses, is available at the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, Sisters City Hall, and many businesses in Sisters.
