Bridge Work Fall of 2024 for the 2025 Season

October 12, 2024
Today we re-decked a bridge that really needed it. We used recycled guard rail for the deck, which has a life span of 75 years plus so it should be around for a good long time. Thank you to our volunteers that continuously make projects like these possible. Thank you Don Bennett, Bill Holbrook, George St. Onge, Roger Guay, Dillon Chaffee, Doug Runne & Steve Dalpe for a job Very Well Done! Thank you Dave Aho for picking up the materials and getting them delivered to the site. We really appreciate it!

Today we rebuilt a bridge that was rotting away and no longer safe. We stripped it down to the poles and replaced the old decking with galvanized guard rail. Then a thin layer of dirt was laid on top. This is great for wildlife and we have actually seen deer tracks all over these types of bridges. We then built the railing out of pressure treated lumber and it came out really great. Thank you to Don Bennett, Dillon Chaffee, Grant Stelter, Lance Wells, Tim Combies, Steve Dalpe, Roger Guay, Marcel Roy, Bill Holbrook & Dave Aho. It takes a team to get these projects completed and our team of volunteers did a great job getting this bridge looking awesome.

Saturday, October 28, 2023: The NCM's have been out in full force getting trails ready for the up coming season. We had some pretty bad wash outs and we have been busy getting them repaired. With the help of several club volunteers (Steve Dalpe, David Aho, Marcel Roy, Bill Holbrook, Roger Piette & George St. Once) we have been able to get a lot of trail work completed. We would like to thank Todd Scelza with Scelza Excabating for the help hauling material into a part of the trail where only a track vehicle could go. We would also like to thank Dan St. Onge for the use of his loader to load the track truck. We would also like to thank our amazing landowners for not only allowing the trails on your property, but for allowing us to maintain our trails, year after year. It's appreciated more than you can ever know!
