Saturday, July 8th, the SWV Team cut 5 trees on the Arnot Creek trail. It appeared that someone else had gone in recently and cleared approximately 20-25 trees. We were unaware that they had been cut. The team then moved to the Clark Fork trail and removed 19 trees from the Trailhead to the wilderness boundary. There is now open access. Many thanks to Dick Chimenti, Ron Davenport and Dave Salzer for their efforts in clearing these trees. Jeff Hawley President, Stanislaus Wilderness Volunteers
