Kinney Creek and Keyser Ridge trailheads need boards, and the board at Second Creek needs repair. 16 people signed up for trailhead bulletin board work at the spring meeting. Jim will setup some work dates. He will also inventory which boxes need plexiglas.
Roger S. reported that we have 4 extra registration boxes in inventory. He needs someone to adopt the Lake Evelyn/Keyser Creek box.
