Trail Assessment and Hazard Identification

What happens here

Begin by walking through the trail to assess the extent of the overgrowth, identify any large fallen trees, and check for potential hazards such as yellow jacket or hornet nests. The presenter mentions that this specific trail was overgrown with large logs from Hurricane Florence in 2018. A Ventrac mower has already been used to clear some initial brush, revealing the path. This initial walk-through is crucial for planning the clearing process and ensuring safety.
