This grant from the National Park Service’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park is dedicated to comprehensive trail rehabilitation along sections of the Sweat Heifer and Grassy Branch Trails. The project involves re-grading the trail corridor, installing effective soil erosion control structures, and replacing worn-out water-bars to improve drainage and prevent degradation. Furthermore, activities include heavy brushing to clear overgrown areas, installing new rock retaining walls and steps for stability and safety, and repairing existing rock retaining walls essential for trail support. A key objective of this initiative is to support and stimulate valuable work, education, and training opportunities specifically for young adults. This will be achieved through their collaborative participation in these essential trail rehabilitation efforts, fostering skill development and and contributing to the park’s conservation goals.
