Trail Seeding is Done and the Grass is Sprouting! 9/28/2008 (27 images)

This past Friday (9/28), the last of the trail seeding was finished. With a little luck, we'll get some rain along with cooler temperatures over the next month that should get all of the grass a good start prior to the first snowfall.

Seeding consists of broadcasting seed followed by working it into the soil, rolling to improve seed-to-ground contact, then covering with a light layer of straw. We've also used erosion mat selectively in spots where we expect water to run across the trail.
