Habitat management work at Stonehouse Forest (8-12-2036)

SELT is conducting habitat management work at Stonehouse Forest between 8/13-8/21. This involves the use of heavy machinery to reopen an overgrown area surrounding the old homestead site on the Locke Trail. 

Trails and parking areas will remain open during this project but it is important that visitors leash pets, stay on trail and always keep a minimum of 100ft from equipment and machinery.
