Nevada County Adopts BYLT’s Hirschman Pond Trail
Nevada County recently entered into an “Adopt-a-Trail” agreement to support the eastern portion of the well-loved local Hirschman Pond Trail in Nevada City. Hirshman Pond Trail is minutes from the Eric Rood Center and is a source of enjoyment for County staff almost every day. Employees frequently use the trail for walks and lunch breaks to relax and decompress while outdoors. County staff now have an opportunity to give back to the trail.
Over the next two years, County staff will volunteer in non-work-related stewardship, maintenance, and bi-monthly inspections for the Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT). Through BYLT’s program, staff volunteers will individually walk the trail to check for trash, vandalism, safety issues, and general upkeep. Teams from County departments will tackle larger projects such as erosion control, building a retaining wall, spreading gravel to maintain the trail’s surface, brush maintenance, and trail route preservation.
