Hey - per Bill Markham's plea to have a meeting. We definitely need to have one, but I think Chris is away this week. I'm going to have a hard time the...
Brad ,I wont be able to make it . Drs appointment. I think this is an important meeting and that you should try to reschedule with more notice. We want lots of...
Ok - since Harry's such an important part of this, I'll cancel and reschedule. Probably going to be in July. Thanks, Brad From: BerkshireNEMBA@yahoogroups.com...
Just FYI. (and so I don't lose this info). Most of the trails in the Pittsfield State Forest don't have signs and many trails don't even have names. As part of...
One of the things I was going to bring up if we had the Wed meeting was trying to recruit more members and build community support? I have been planning to...
The ones in Kennedy Park work well- we laminate the maps then the "house" keeps them dry- the biggest problem we have is vandalism- people tear off the...
I really like the idea of along with signs posting a number and then placing that number on a map. In my experience people can't read maps but if there is a...
Hi, I had this idea of posting something at the top and bottom of the Turner Trail saying the trail was re-built by Berkshire NEMBA in 2008 and maybe put a...
Yes!? the plaque is awesome- might have to be in brown state official colors but I'm sure Voss could do that. Two plaques are not much more expensive than one...

Let me get a price from them for 2, 3 and 4 (spares in case of vandals). Any suggestions on wording or info on the sign? I think this would be AWESOME! Brad...

Brad this looks good to me- great photos esp of the mud! I think Gay Beaver needs to go- not politically correct even in this context- maybe just Beaver or...
I have to agree about the 'Gay Beaver' being a potential red flag...some land managers might be turned off. Otherwise, it was good reading! ... From:...
Several changes made to fix this up! Map has been changed (Gay Beaver changed to just Beaver and highlighted the proposed family loop to give a better visual...
Brad-looks great. Rode the lower trails today-they are awesome (pretty darn dry despite the rain as well). Nice proposal. In the future another "family"...
