[Durham INC] Alert: DCO/DPR Trail closures (please heed/avoid) dates/times, for tree & trail fixups

[Debra Hawkins]

Also -  accidentally omitted but including below: a .pdf of the 2022-23
trail repair project map that was originally attached, (for those whose
tech allows it) showing prospective work areas and to aid in pre-planning
trail trips/usage to prevent delays or disappointments (!) as Durm folks
get out to enjoy the summer ahead, around our open spaces & trails.
