“The project in the state forest is complete along with trail restoration, parking area expansion and gate installation. The forest is back open to the public as of December 13th. We will be placing more interpretive signage up along the trail explaining the objectives of the harvest and the benefits to the local wildlife. The kiosk will be replaced this spring with new signage.”
