  • Mt Tecumseh, August 2021 - A tree wound on a birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This tree wound is the result of man not using proper protocol to remove a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. A yellow trail blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then it was improperly removed from the tree in the spring of 2012. The bark, where the blaze was, was cut and peeled away creating a tree wound where rot, fungus, and insects could enter the tree. And this is how the wound looked in August 2021. Most trail maintenance organizations in the White Mountains no longer use this practice of blaze removal because it damages trees and goes against leave no trace principles.

  • Trail blazing along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. A proper blaze is a two by six inch rectangle. Spills and runs should be wiped away when applied and once dried, runs can be removed using proper techniques. After a trail inspection by Forest Service in June 2012, using proper protocol, they removed the bottom blaze (bad blazing) because it was placed about two feet from the ground on the tree. In time, the bad blazing will fade away and not be visible.

  • In 2011, Tropical Storm Irene washed out part of the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. This is how part of the rerouted section looked in September 2011. This brush is dropped on the side of the trail. Proper technique is to pick up all branches and scatter them off the trail with the cut ends facing into the woods away from the trail. Update 2017: After 5-6 years, this pile of brush has finally been picked up and properly scattered off the trail per basic trail maintenance guidelines.

  • Two young trees that have been cut three feet off the ground (waist level) along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Proper technique, per trail maintenance guidelines, is to cut young trees flush with the ground. Leaving pointed stumps are dangerous if stepped or fallen upon. If a hiker falls on these pointed stumps they could be injured.<br />
<br />
As of October 2012 these young trees still had not been cut to trail maintenance guidelines. Instead of flagging why not cut them to proper guidelines?
