Join a road restoration contractor and a retired Forest Service road engineer to look at recent road storage and decommissioning work on the Darby Lumber Lands in Rye Creek. We will observe and discuss a variety of techniques and objectives of the project, and examine the results in a heavily roaded and logged area. If time permits, we will also look at a nearby road that was obliterated about 10 years ago, and observe natural re-vegetation.  Bring good hiking shoes, lunch and water.
