Flooding east of Cotton Valley
    
(May 3, 2020)
On Sunday CVRTC in union with the Cotton Valley Trail Committee (CVTC) addressed
the trail flooding east of Cotton Valley. PVC pipe was installed in a manner that
will hopefully foil the efforts of the local beaver population. The objectives were
to provide enough water to support the beavers and other wildlife it attracts but
in a controlled manner to preserve the rail bed from flooding and erosion. Water
was over the railhead during the past week until trail volunteers cleared the debris
from the culvert areas. The fury civil engineers were busy with their nocturnal
repairs after each cleaning. The groups will monitor the new installation to gauge
effectiveness, water levels and consider modifications or improvements if needed.

CVRTC - Teleconference Test
 (March 29, 2020)
A few club members gathered in an impromptu teleconference meeting today. The effort
was to test if the club could use this method to conduct some business during the
governors request to stay at home until 4 May during the virus outbreak. The Board
of Directors will test this a bit more and decide if they might want to use it in
place of our April meeting which has been cancelled. It seemed to be a great way
for the BOD to get together and accomplish some tasks that do not require presence
at Fernald. Jesse Mazzie photo.
