Introduction

Hello, my name is Seanna Kelly and I am a senior Girl Scout of Central and Southern New Jersey. This blog outlines my Gold Award Project where I posted new trail markers and hosted a hiking day at the Tulpehaking Nature Center located near the Abbott Marshlands. 

Upon discovering the Abbott Marshlands, my mother and I walked through their trails and realized there were unclear trail markings. The trails were previously blazed by the Friends for the Abbott Marshlands and although they were blazed with good intentions, there were a mix of paint and plastic blazes. Due to weather damage the painted blazes began to chip and their colors became distorted. I decided to re-blaze the trails as my project and host a hiking day to advertise the newly marked trails and outline how to read and decipher trail markings.
