Make plans to spend March 27th at Turkey Mountain with the TUWC, River Parks Authority and Progressive Trail Design. 

Weather permitting we plan to work on trail building under the supervision of the pros from Progressive Trail Design!

Additionally, we will be working on the following:

  • removing invasive species
  • trail compacting
  • litter removal
  • erosion mitigation

Two shifts to better accommodate schedules!

Our morning shift will get started at 9AM and go to Noon and break for lunch.

The afternoon shift will start at 1PM and pack it in at 4PM.

 

ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!!!

We can sign for volunteer hours for students!!!

 

How should I plan?

  • attire: wear sturdy shoes and clothes you can work in.

  • bring a reusable water container

  • wear layers you can shed as the day warms

  • bring sunscreen and bug spray

Tools (optional)
