Tree Tutorial Loop Path Set

Saturday afternoon.. pleasant windy day (62F); went to the Woods, the NE Gate, with saw and loppers to work on routing the tree tutorial loop trail. The route is now established. A few larger logs needed cutting, and there is substantial lopper work remaining; but the route is set. Starting from the NE Gate, left by the white survey stone, the route travels up into the more diverse young forest and heads south southeast to a point just west of the old barbed wire fence at the edge of the mowed hay field. Then the loop curves back west to join the main Escarpment Trail at the top of the hill just south of the largest walnut.

This should be a good loop with diversity. It will be fun to identify and number young trees as species examples along the route.
