The Tung Nut bicycle trail at San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park has reopened, although additional improvements are still planned. To prepare for the upcoming Tour de Felasco on January 12th, your help is requested at two work days in December:

Sat, Dec 1 and Dec 8, 9 AM to noon: December work days will focus on repairing trails due to water erosion and hog damage, with special focus on trails that will be used in the upcoming Tour de Felasco. All help is appreciated. After the workday, lunch is provided. Bring small hand tools if you have them (loppers, pruning shears, hand saws) and gloves, sunscreen, bug repellent, water bottle, and good humor! Meet at the CSO building at park headquarters (12720 NW 109th LN, Alachua, directions below).

Due to the holidays, no CSO Board meeting is planned for December. Due to the Tour de Felasco, no workday is planned for January.

Directions to CSO building: From Gainesville: Go north on CR 241 and just after the I-75 overpass, turn right on NW 109th Lane. Go 1.1 miles on NW 109th Lane to a break in a black 4 rail fence on the left (east) side of the road. At the official state park sign, turn left. Drive past a horse paddock and pole barn to the metal CSO building. From Alachua: Go south on CR 241 until just before the I-75 overpass. Turn left on NW 109th Lane and continue as above.

Hope to see you in the park!
