As many of you know, a winter “grass fire” burned 21 acres on the front side of Round Bald near the parking area. This decreased the grass thatch, but did not kill or damage the blackberry. Because of this, it is imperative that (after we take data) we concentrate our efforts on mowing that area this year. The USFS will use funding from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s Open Areas program to track mow other areas on Round Bald. This is also a good chance for folks to mow within walking distance of the parking area, with no real hike into the site.

More details TBA.
