  • March 2012 - A fresh tree wound on a yellow birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This wound is the result of man not properly removing a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. The blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then 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.<br />
<br />
From Forest Service: When blazes are removed from trees it is generally done with a wire brush though many of the brushes carried by our field staff have a paint scraper integrated into the same tool. The bark is usually not cut intentionally or peeled off. The one exception might be if the blaze were on a mature paper birch. We discourage the use of birches for blazing but in some places they're the only option.<br />
<br />
Blaze removal is most likely done by USFS field staff (trail crews or backcountry rangers) or the partner organization responsible for the maintenance of the trail. Occasionally it may be done by trail adopters or other authorized volunteers. Anyone not under a formal agreement with the USFS is not authorized to remove blazes.

  • Mt Tecumseh, October 2020 - 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 October 2020.

  • Stone steps along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire in May 2016. A herd path has formed on the right-hand side of the steps from hikers avoiding (not using) the steps. Hikers are also avoiding the steps by using the old section of trail that is on the left-hand side of the steps. If these herd paths are not blocked off, it will lead to more erosion issues in this section of trail. And this defeats the purpose of the staircase. These steps are only a couple of years old.

  • Two stone steps covered in leaf drop along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in the New Hampshire White Mountains on an autumn day in 2020. When building stone steps along a trail, the norm is to place scree (rocks) or brush alongside the steps. The latter is usually done because it looks natural. Placing the scree and / or brush on the side of the steps discourages hikers from going around the steps, and potentially creating more trail erosion issues.

  • 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.
