Thanks to the hard work of Van Coffey, Land Steward at Ruffner Mountain, and Turkey Creek Nature Preserve, you may have noticed some improvements to trail signs and bridges lately.
Van on recent trail maintenance: “We elongated this bridge along the Ridge & Valley Trail and had to add new pieces. The juxtaposition of the old and new revealed something. The planks were not painted red, they were stained red from all the iron ore off of people's shoes.”
