“2020 program accomplishments during 2020, weber pathways was able to successfully rebrand our organization by adding a d.b.a. - trails foundation of northern utah and was able to continue existing projects, begin new projects and plan for future projects in a very challenging time. In the spring of 2020, tfnu was able to set up and host a trail building class with a local partner so we could continue the education process for our trail building projects. Tfnu recognized that the additional training would have a long-term effect on working closer with local and government agencies to help with the continued trail building efforts. We once again hired a utah conservation crew to continue the work we have been doing to help control the puncture vine and goat head weeds along the weber river parkway and rail trail. This work was a continuation of the support we received from a weber county ramp grant. Our blackners bend project along the weber river took huge strides in 2020. Tfnu was able to create a new river channel to help the blue head sucker fish and bonneville cutthroat trout. The blue head sucker fish is considered endangered and providing a spawning area for them was critical. We add habitat and were able to control flows to help ensure the success of their spawn. Along this section we were also able to start putting in a connector trail of the weber river parkway so we can continue to try and connect the local communities. Tfnu were able to repair and resurface 5 miles along the highly used pineview loop pathway in eden. This trail is used by residence and visitors alike. This project helped remove dangerous areas along the trail and make the use much safer. The sidewinder trail was a great opportunity for tfnu to design, build and establish a brand new 3 mile loop in eden. We successfully finished a little over 1.5 miles and plan to finish the loop in 2021. This was the first project we used our new trail crew with the hopes of building the program in years to come. During the summer we were able to re-route a section of the bonneville shoreline trail near the north ogden divide. This re-route was critical to improve the durability and drainage to ensure this section is more resistant to damage and overuse. By completing the project, we are able to make the trail much safer for all trail user groups. Throughout the summer and fall, tfnu was able to do more work at north fork park. We were able to build and re-establish over 3 miles of trail with our trail crew. With all the work over the past few years by tfnu, the north fork park area has become a premier outdoor recreation area for all trail user groups- biker, hikers, runners, equestrians as well as winter sports. We were able to log 700 hours of volunteer work to make this truly a community project. In 2020, we worked on getting estimates on the engineering cost for additional sections of the pineview loop pathway to see about connecting the plp to schools and parks.”
