Gentlemen,
Just want to send another note about our current work at Girty’s Woods and a request to share information about our public workdays. We are in need of volunteers to open up a major trail connection across the property.
Thanks in advance for any sharing!
Caitlin

Hank,
Thank you for the introduction.
Bob,
Nice to meet you (virtually).
I think the best way to approach trail discussions is with a map. Let me know if you have any trouble viewing this one:
Its our plan for Girty’s Woods. This was done by Pashek and all of the proposed new trails are flagged with the intent to be fully volunteer built, and there is a ton of existing trail, some in really rough shape, some rough for pedestrians but enjoyed by MTB folks. Our goal is to add more sustainable multi use trails for recreation and to establish better access, this past year it has been limited. So far this year we have built up from the Frederick/Silver street and are going to continue the outer Northeast route up to the top. We have been operating on 2hr workdays a few times a month, but I think we could make a big impact with a few focused bigger workdays. We have one more workday scheduled on the evening of the 28th and then I’ll likely take a break through August and pick back up in the Fall.
I’d be happy to have a call, set up a zoom, or meet on site with you to chat more about this if you are interested. Let me know what works.
Thanks!
Caitlin

Caitlin and Bob,
I want to introduce you to each other with the possible though of future communications to organize some trail building and improvement at the Allegheny Land Trust property above Millvale, PA.
Bob, Caitlin Seiler is the Director of Stewardship and Volunteers with the Allegheny Land Trust and is spearheading the development of the trails I mentioned to you.
Caitlin, Bob Bannon is likely the most connected mountain biker in all of the Pittsburgh region and with his broad reach in the community has access to reach out to the many different groups in the surrounding region. In short he would be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reaching out to the biking community and getting "trail work days" posted on multiple platforms.
Being a Sewickley boy, I put most of my focus in that neighborhood however you both have broader reaches and I think an introduction - and perhaps a discussion - might be beneficial. This is the first step.
Sincerely,
Hank Ingram
