LOOKING FOR A NEW COORDINATOR
Hi all. Due to a bunch of things it is well and truly time for me to hand over the role of the coordinator for the Bruce Ridge trail group.
So I am looking for someone who is keen to organise FoBR and keep the trails running.
If you want to have crack at it, then feel free to send me a DM and we can discuss what the job entails etc.

A big thank you to Iconic trails and PCS for the work they have carried out on the outer loop. The trails are running very nicely indeed. A lot of the new work will be soft and powdery for while, so please go easy and let things bed in.
Tomorrow, Thurs 28 Apr, Parks and Conservation Service (PCS) are intending to conduct a prescribed burn at Black Mountain. The area to be burned is directly adjacent to Bruce Ridge - see the link for details of planned burn areas.
Upcoming prescribed burns - Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate - Environment The Parks and Conservation Service (PCS) conducts a number of prescribed burns each year in and around urban and rural areas across Canberra and Googong Foreshore (NSW) to prepare for the upcoming fire season. For more information refer to the Bushfire Operations Plan (BOP).

Unsanctioned trails.
We have noticed some new trail’s popping up around Bruce.
Please please do not do this. Bruce Ridge is a high conservation area and we work with Parks to maintain the legal trail network.
We will have to now spend valuable volunteer hours to close these unsantioned trails.
