Tree Signs on the Basking Ridge Coyote Creek Trail Spur, 1/25/06 by Ronald Horii
I'm posting this album in 2021 for historical documentation purposes. There is a 3/4 mile-long spur of the Coyote Creek Trail along Basking Ridge Avenue. I call it the Basking Ridge Trail. Google Maps calls it the Tree Life Cycles Trail. The latter is because of the signs that used to be on this trail. This trail was put in as part of the neighboring Basking Ridge development on the opposite side of Coyote Creek from the main Coyote Creek Trail. It was built in the late 1990's by the project's developers and turned over to the County Parks to maintain. Part of the trail included trail signs that pointed out trees along it. I don't know if they were put in by the developers or as part of a volunteer, like Eagle Scouts, project, or both. Now, most of those signs are gone. There is only the sign at the trailhead and one tree sign, which doesn't match the trees around it. A future volunteer project could be to put new signs along the trail, properly identifying the trees.
