The Hansville Greenway

Mowing

Each year we try to mow half of the two meadows and also brush the trails. If we didn’t mow, we would eventually lose the meadows to blackberries and trees. If the trails were not brushed, they would disappear within a year!

Trail Conditions

As of December 25th

Our trails are mostly clear. The clear weather of late has let the trails dry out quite a bit. No telling how long the dry weather will stick around. I wouldn’t expect to see too much muddy conditions for a while.

One thing of note: Pope Resources has been doing a little logging adjacent to the Hood Canal Drive trailhead. With the trees down, you can’t use the trail. Make note of this when travelling through the Greenway, because if you start down the trail from the vicininty of Lower Hawks Pond, you won’t be able to get to Hood Canal Drive. Go ahead and walk if you wish, but turn around at Post 16 so you won’t get into the logging operation.

Can’t remember where the trail number posts are located? Check out our map in the General Information menu item. Remember, you can always load the Maprika app on your smart phone and import the Hansville Greenway map. The app works with Android or iOS. With GPS enabled, you should be able to find your way with no problem.

Want to report stuff? Want to volunteer to help? Just e-mail us at info@hansvillegreenway.org or you can contact Art at 360-638-0738 to make your report. You can also comment on our Facebook page.

We are short of able-bodied people to help with maintenance, so if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer your time for a really good cause, we’d love to have you. Any time you can contribute is really appreciated! And you’ll get bragging rights for working with us! There is no “required” amount of time for volunteers to work. We are just happy to get any help we can get.
