Mosquito Creek Waterways Trail

Another consideration is the danger of the work cutting up very large trees, some of which will be in a current, with all the physics of motion that sudden weight release will trigger. Also on a work trip a few years ago on the upper Mahoning, I watched with both awe and trepidation one of our club members use a chain saw while standing on a water-slicked log that was bobbing in the current in order to reach an offending branch that was blocking passage. So I think some of this work is beyond what volunteers who are not tree-cutting professionals should be asked to perform.
