Tools of the trade

Looking forward to getting the trail building season going.

  • We will start the Sunday May 10th 1-4pm(weather permitting) and ever Thurdays afternoon for the full season from 3:30 pm to ??? duskish.
  • We will also build Sunday May 24th 1-4pm

  • Please Email with questions: croniestrailcrew@gmail.com, and keep looking here for updates and info on building dates, times and progress.

Here are the tools you should be using for building trail.


The top photo is a Mcleod rake the bottom a pulaski. A standard rake and flat shovel sometimes help too. But ultimately these two tools do the bulk of the work.
