Track maintenance which we refer to as 'trail TLC' is a job which always results in a transformation. This was certainly the case on Sunday 10 August when an excellent turn-up of Snowy West Landcare members spent two hours doing some 'trail TLC' along the Old Coach Trail and the Snowy Rail Bridge Trail. These trails are very popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders, particularly on bright, shiny, sunny days like last Sunday. Following our 'trail TLC' there is always a very welcome cuppa. Thanks everyone!
