Tree felling operations on the North Umpqua Trail (NUT)

Trail Safety Alert: Tree felling operations on the North Umpqua Trail (NUT)

Tree fallers will be working on the NUT over the next several weeks to clear trees for the installation of new bridges. This work will help improve trail access, but for your safety, we ask all recreators to avoid the area while tree mitigation is underway. Signs will be posted, and staff will be monitoring both sides of the felling area. Wood is staying on the landscape as coarse woody debris for wildlife or felled into streams for fish habitat.

The tentative work schedule:
- September 4th and 5th: Panther Segment - Station Creek Bridge and Panther Bridge at milepost 0.8
- September 11th and 12th: Panther Segment - Station Creek Bridge and Panther Bridge at milepost 0.8
- September 18th and 19th: Calf Segment - Calf Bridge
- September 25th and 26th: Panther Segment – Panther Bridge at milepost 3.8
- October 2nd and 3rd: Panther Segment – Panther Bridges at mileposts 2.6 and 2.7

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve the North Umpqua Trail.
