1. HARDING TRUCK TRAIL REMAINS CLOSED

Apparently there is a rumor going around that the Harding Burn Closure Area is ready to reopen.

NOT TRUE.

The closure remains in effect until the plants recover.

We have been repairing the road for emergency fire access but the area remains closed.

Any changes in status will be sent out to all volunteers and the media.

Please help quash the rumors.

Thank you!

Debra
