Our Trail Improvement Projects
NCBCH Work Day - November 2022
On Saturday, November 5th, 2022 approximately 25 members from Nature Coast Back Country Horsemen met in the morning at Tucker Hill Trailhead in the Croom Tract of the Withlacoochee Forest to help FFS by pulling and disposing of 670 lbs. of the invasive Caesars weed. FFS is very concerned about this invasive weed as it flourishes and chokes out the native flora and fauna. After a morning of pulling and disposing of this weed everyone moved to the pavilion located at the trailhead for lunch provided by NCBCH and some social time.

Improvements for equestrian trails out of Tucker Hill Trailhead
Be sure to check out the new and improved Tram Trail along Croom Road. It has been changed to start inside the Tucker Hill equestrian parking lot and stays entirely in the trees.
The trail at Tucker Hill that starts near the water trough and heads down the hill has been rerouted somewhat to avoid the washout area and to improve its sustainability.
Many thanks to Ann and Bob Hopta and their friends from Pa. for opening these new sections of trail.
