Date: Sunday 6 December 2009 Time: 8.00am Venue: KDCF shelter (see directions below)
Please join us for our final trail day of the year for Phase II of the KDCF trail this Sunday. Our trail is almost complete, although much work will still have to be done in the coming months for the finishing touches -- such as putting in additional erosion control measures and removing deadfall etc.
Some of you might be interested to know that Pat and I came across two tortoises along the trail last Saturday -- I think they might adult Spiny Hill Turtles (Heosemys spinosa).
The tools of choice will be parangs, rakes and proper changkuls. Saws and shovels may also come in handy as a second tool. Sturdy shoes are recommended - no flip flops please. And of course mozzie repellent (preferably DEET-based) and enough water and trail snacks to get you through a four hour work session.
- If you are coming from KL, head northwest through TTDI towards Ikea. Join the LDP and pass 1 Utama. Take the first exit after 1 Utama for Ikea, Ikano, the Curve, etc. onto Persiaran Surian. Zero your odometer as you leave the LDP. - Follow Persiaran Surian west towards Kota Damansara. At 2.7 km you will pass a large collection of shoplots on your right, at 3.0km there are traffic lights, turn right here onto Jalan Mahogani. - Follow Jalan Mahogani until you reach Jalan Beringin at 5.5 km, turn right here. - Follow Jalan Beringin to 6.2 km and park here. Kota Damansara SMK Seksyen 10 is on your left, the large shelter for Kota Damansara Community Forest is on your right.

Please join us for our fifth trail day for Phase II of the KDCF trail this Sunday. So far, we have built about 800 metres of finished trail. Progress was little slow the last time out, due to the difficult terrain and the small number of volunteers, so your participation is crucial to keep this project going.
Separately, Pat has been leading a team of trailbuilders from the Temuan community, and have started working on weekly basis from the opposite end of the trail. They have built approximately 450 to 470 metres.
The tools of choice will be parangs, rakes and proper changkuls. Saws and shovels may also come in handy as a second tool. Sturdy shoes are recommended - no flip flops please. And of course mozzie repellent (preferably DEET-based) and enough water and trail snacks to get you through a four hour work session.

TRAKS has donated RM30,000 to plant 500 trees in our own 1 hectare plot(H4) in Kiara and therefore helping transform Kiara from rubber trees to a forest park. The donation drive by the KLMBH, PCC and MyGravity ran over six months. A special thank you to Mr Toh Hoon Chew, Datacom and Mike Tighe who are our top three donors. In the tradition of our monthly trail maintenance days, the tree planting event held on Saturday morning 22 August was a low key affair with our avid members and donors congregating at the 4 way junction of Bukit Kiara before proceeding to the site to plant 50 of our trees. We would like to express our thanks to Mr Tee Yew Fook and the Jabatan Landscape Negara who organised and coordinated this event.
