[Volunteers_fosm] No plastic diamonds permitted in wilderness

[Sam via Volunteers_fosm]

Hello Everyone,

Blue plastic diamonds will not be used to mark the North Crest Trail or other wilderness trails, because they are not permitted in wilderness.

See the email from Kerry Wood, Trails Advisory Group (TAG) Region 3 Representative, below.

Friends of the Sandia Mountains




Sam,

Plastic diamonds shall not be installed along trails in wilderness. Wilderness signage guidelines prohibit installation of plastic reassurance markers. The only approved markers are cut or branded markings on trees. In wilderness you need to find your own way!
