Photo at right:  This section of the Montour Trail in South Park Township (MP37.25), was damaged by stream bank erosion in 2018. The bank was repaired, but it was steepened in the area of the photo and the trail shoulder narrowed. The posts were installed as part of a new safety fence. Trail volunteers will install the fence rails at a December 8 work party (subject to weather conditions).
