Forest Service Trail Publications
Hello everybody:
I am pleased to
announce a newly updated webpage with US Forest Service publications relating
to trails located at www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/fspubs/index.htm.
Some of these publications were out-of-print, so they are available to the
public again. Some of the publications are only indirectly related to trails,
but you might find them handy. For example, if you are concerned about
invasive weeds along trails, you might want to know about the MTDC Portable
Vehicle Washer.
We expect to add a few more publications to this website
in the near future, such as the newly published "Portable Rock Crusher for
Trails" and "Accessible Handpump for Forest Service
Campgrounds".
These publications also will be available on a CD that the
USFS will provide to us for distribution.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH to the
US Forest Service's Technology and Development Program. In particular, Brian
Vachowski, Program Lead, and Mary Trankel.
And especially, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH to Jonathan LeClere, our onsite contractor here with FHWA, who has
turned our RTP website (and TE website) into very user friendly and
informative resources. Jonathan spent a lot of time reformatting the
publications to meet FHWA's standards. He enjoyed reading the publications
and learning more about trails, as well.
We also improved links to other
publications
at www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/rectrails/publications.htm.
I hope you
find these resources useful. They are brought to you by the Recreational
Trails Program administrative funds through a reimbursable agreement with the
US Forest Service Technology and Development Program. I think this investment
will help provide significant cost savings in building and maintaining
America's trails.
