We will not be removing leaves from the trails this year.  We understand the leaves make the trails slippery. We have experimented with removing leaves and it really damages our trail system  in Pine Hill Park in the long run. We blow what precious dirt we have off the trail and leaves then end up clogging the drainage’s that we work hard on keeping opening to let water escape the trail tread. Our soils are totally different than other areas and our trails benefit from leaving leaves on the trails. The leaves will get ground in as people ride, run and walk on them.

We appreciate your cooperation by riding, running, walking a touch bit slower.

Thank you.

This is an excellent video to explain why we do not remove leaves.
