Tracy's response:
Thank you for your e-mail We had one session back in June – the main focus was to work on the area adjacent to that bridge on the Rocky Point Trail. I haven’t been back since – I hope that held up for a while. We have two sessions scheduled for Hartshorne Woods Park right now – October 5th and November 16th. I am currently collecting names of those interested in joining the volunteer trails team. New volunteers will be required to attend a 2-hour classroom informational session. Additional training will be provided on the trail with staff and volunteer crew leaders. Attached please find the Volunteer Application to distribute to the mountain bikers that are interested. If there is enough interest, I will schedule a training session, most-likely on a week night at Thompson Park Visitor Center in September. This way the new volunteers can partake in the projects we tackle in October and November.
I’ve attached a MAP if you’d like to indicate the areas you have found to be of greatest concern. Please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you soon!

I'll also send her a list of the overgrown areas, but could use your help describing exactly where they are. My best recollections:
- the part of Rocky Point if you make a right off the paved road coming up from the dock
- Grand Tour near the Monmouth Hills section on the map
