No Comments

9AM – NOON

  • Come prepared to work
  • Crews will be very spread out

What to bring / wear:

Tools (optional)

*****should you bring personal tools please clearly label them so you can make it home with what you brought.

*******note – we do not expect any one volunteer to provide everything on this list, pick one or two things

  • Gloves
  • Lopper/Pruner (with your name on them)
  • Hand saw (non-power like a bow saw or folding saw) and small Axe/Hatchet
  • Hoe (both traditional & rogue) / Shovel (spade & square)
  • Pulaski / Mattock
  • Mcleod
  • Rake (leaf and garden rake)
  • Wheelbarrow

Project list:

  • Depending on how many volunteers we have this is our list of projects in order of importance.
  • Rake out drains on all trails
  • This is an ongoing project to keep the new trails in good repair.
  • Rock armor low wet spot on upper lot north entrance.
  • That north trailhead is unfortunately where most of the water drains for the upper parking lot. This will require a lot of rock moving.
  • Touch up on new staircase. Likely first couple of years of stairs will need periodic maintenance like this.
  • Older trail reclamation
  • Some older trails that were shut down permanently (like the blue trail next to Zingo, the old yellow trail that went from upper lot to ridge/point, the old west entrance on upper parking lot near driveway) are starting to get “reopened” by folks and we need to go in and rebrush them and reclaim them.
  • Additionally if any families or groups wish to just come out and pick up litter we will gladly set them to work too!
  • If you have any questions please contact Bobby, Eric or Peter
