In becoming a Buckeye Trail Section Supervisor, there two questions one might ask. They are:
1) What are my duties?
2) What does this section really need???
This is the adventure and volunteerism log for Matthew Dexter Edmonds, aka "Treeman." Aside from Blogger comments, contact information is listed on Google+. And all places mentioned in this log are in the State of Ohio in United States of America unless otherwise stated. "The Wayne" = the Wayne NF.

As a section supervisor, I am by default a member of the Buckeye Trail Association's "Trail Management Team (TMT)," who deal with matters like routing and cutting obstructions on the entire circuit. Since I still reside in Painesville, the acting chair of the TMT requested that I respond to a downed tree on the Burton Section in Big Creek Park - Geauga Park District, which is north of Chardon of Geauga County.
The tree is actually an 18" thick branch made out of a dense, white wood. I got the obstruction cut on the sides, but I storm rolled in and I had to leave. Anyways, I went to Home Depot, also in Chardon, and purchased 2 - 100ft ropes to tie to it tomorrow and drag them off of the trail. The trail is safe for the time being, but I plan to finish the removal tomorrow.
