AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Belize by District Cayo Big Rock Falls Trail Improvement Project

Sacred Heart Junior College students are spending just over a week at Big Rock Falls, where they'll join forces with Blancaneaux and Belize Trails to help fix the trail leading to the site. The current trail is in bad shape, and really needs the upgrade. Thanks, SHJC NRM students!

"Today is the big day when SHJC's NRM department, Belize Trails, Blancaneaux and other partners commence the Big Rock Trail Improvement Project. Trail leader Chad Burrow of the US National Park Service will lead the crew for 9 days teaching principals and applications of Sustainable Trail Design. Environmental Assessment professional and instructor Charles Britt of the Scarlet 6 will be on site. We're hoping to see Roni Martinez and Lenney Gentle out there as well. Feel free to join us!"

Big Rock Trail Progress

Sacred Heart Junior College students are making good progress with the Big Rock Trail improvement. They are half way through their 10 nights there. Check out the pictures so far HERE.

"The Big Rock Trail Improvement Project is underway. 8 SHJC NRM students, 6 SHJC volunteers, 4 trail builders from New York and team leader Chad Burrow braved rain and cool weather this weekend kicking off the project. They'll work and camp in Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge for 10 nights volunteering their time to make one of Belize's premier destinations safer and more accessible. Belize Trails, Blancaneaux Lodge, the Cayo Tour Guides Association and SHJC's NRM department are proud sponsors of this outstanding effort!"

Big Rock Trail Improvement Project Video

Daniel Velazquez put together a video of the Big Rock Trail Improvement Project. You can see how the improved trail was planned, and hear why it was done the way it was. It's a great mix between video and pictures, allowing you to see the trail planners and many of the SHJC students that volunteered to assist the project. Well done!

Well worth including a swim at Big Rock Falls while visiting Cayo.

Big Rock Falls Trail Improvements

The new trail at Big Rock Falls, which was built with the help of several Sacred Heart Junior College students, is holding up well. It's in great shape, and allows easier, safer access to one of Cayo's best attractions. Pictures on fb.
