Thanks to generous support from the ASLAN foundation, Friends of the Smokies, and the hard work of Park staff and numerous volunteers, the 2008 pilot phase of the Trails Forever program was a success.
The 2008 Trails Forever crew fully rehabilitated the Jakes Creek and Baskins Creek trails. Trails Forever also made major improvements to the Ramsey Cascades and Forney Ridge trails, both of which will receive additional attention during the 2009 Trails Forever season. Trails Forever plans to work on several trails during 2009 and will be seeking volunteers to help out on these projects.
