St. Mary's Wilderness Stewardship Day: Dec 1, 2019


For a day that started out cold and wet, the PATC's Charlottesville Chapter did pretty well rounding up trail workers to head out to St. Mary's Wilderness and work deep into the wilderness reclaiming the Cellar Mtn Trail.  The PATC worked with the Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards (SAWS) and Wild Virginia to reclaim the Cellar Mountain Trail, which was lost to years of unchecked vegetation growth.  PATC participants included John Brandt, John Shannon, Marit Anderson, Mark Perschel, and Jeff Monroe.  The group continued trail work that had been undertaken previously, and progressed to the end of the trail!  It isn’t yet perfect, but it is much more open than it was before the effort started.  PATC-Charlottesville hopes to have a group hike out here in the Spring of 2020.
