We miss our friend and fellow FTA member, John McGuire, who passed from this life while hiking on the AT.  John was a regular participant in the IRC  trail maintenance activities. Remember John and his contributions to the FTA as you hike the Florida trail, particularly on the section between SR 60 and SR 528 because this is the section that he helped maintain.

The Reserve staff has a project underway to raise the grade of some of the internal roads that were subject to flooding and closure. This should improve access to trail heads. A new interpretive trail is being constructed at the intersection of Powerline Road and St. Nicholas Road. This should be open before the end of the year. A project is underway to repaint blazes in colors designated in the recently signed contract with the State. The FNST route will be orange, alternate trails white, and connector trail yellow. This should be completed by the end of the year.
