Roger Meyer brought this to our attention last night at the GSMG trail committee. This could be a great chance to fund the trailblazer in Mclean for protecting some habitat.

Roger has implied he would support us in the necessary approvals in Mclean to make the work happen and if we had a good opportunity in the ghost we could expedite some GSMG approvals to match funding timelines.
