Big ones? I might lug in a little help to take them out sometime this week if need be. ---

There are 3 trees. I don’t think a chainsaw is required, I’d say a small buck saw or an axe. I’ll be heading out the door shortly to take care of it. So just pack your steed when you plan to head out. ---

Death March is all clear of trees and debris. ---

Three large trees down on Lakota Way in Whopper. Tried to move them, but they will require a saw. ---

Super Secret Singletrack is all clear now. There was a lot of debris and almost a dozen fallen trees. Most of em, were so rotten I could just pick them up and hurl them off the trail, but I had to cut three of them out using my handy Fiskers saw ([PSA for trail maintenance ninjas](https://ecmtb.net/t/psa-for-trail-maintenance-ninjas/8402)) ---

What is this super secret singletrack one speaks of? ---

At spider Lake-Large tree cracked and fell standing vertically in mid- trail on what I believe to be ribbon of love. I think it’s in there relatively solid. Might require a few people with ropes or a come-along and a chainsaw to safely remove-if that sort of thing is allowed there… Not sure about skull, but the rest of the “front side” trails seem in good shape, other than needing a bit of trimming ---

Ribbon of Love is on Halifax Water property (everything to the right of the main road/doubletrack as you’re going up) so if you’re caught working there you’ll be in poo poo with people and given their semi-recent state of agitation by ATV douche-tards maybe you’ll catch a fine too, if you’re caught. ---

Thanks, I wondered if that was the deal these days, I certainly want to avoid the poo-poo ---

Agreed… To be clear it has been illegal to build trail in there since 1986 when it was legislated. This pre-dates ribbon, inner peace and skull, so the deal hasn’t really ever changed. ---

Building and clearing trail is sometimes determined to be two different things by different land owners. Do they allow clearing of debris, providing no new trails are made? Or is this a complete hands off type of thing? ---

I don’t know @riderx that’s a question for Halifax Water. Nothing in the regs that I can see that makes such a small differentiation. Basically you can’t do anything there without a permit. see point #18[https://novascotia.ca/just/regulations/regs/envpwlmr.htm](https://novascotia.ca/just/regulations/regs/envpwlmr.htm) [Previous page](https://ecmtb.net/t/how-are-the-trails-post-hurricane/8384.md?page=2)
