Rail Corridor Forest Management
Many bike trials follow abandoned railroad corridors, these narrow pieces of land once industrial sites are now growing back into liner urban forests. These liner forests represent significant acreage, narrow but many miles long. They do have challenges including infiltration from invasive plants and toxic residue in the soils but they are also significant natural resource areas. They provide important oxygenation, carbon sequestration, storm water management and wild life habitat in urban areas. Managing the vegetation along these corridors to both preserve
and improve the forest and habitat and protect the public from existing toxins is an important emerging field.
