Bridge and Duck boards repaired at Bowers
December 1, 2022
There was some damage to the high bridge over Bowers Brook and the bog bridges crossing the wet areas nearby. Specifically, some of the boards had been broken at the edges. Larry Kunz took charge and organized a repair. Gordon Taylor joined him and they replaced the broken pieces of Trex composite material used in the construction.
If you were wondering why the bridge over the brook is so high, it’s because beaver activity has caused the water level to rise significantly on occasions in the past and this design (by an Eagle Scout in 2016) allows the brook to be crossed even when the brook is at its maximum height.
