Join Us Friday, September 18 for a trail workday clearing a new reroute near Flint Creek. We will meet up at the trail parking lot at 9:00 AM. Upon arrival we will sign waivers, have a brief safety meeting, assign tools and hike out to the trail location. The job site is about a mile and a half on easy trails. The park will have loppers and digging implements. It is recommended to bring snacks, water, gloves and dress for trail work. Our goal is to clear a new path for a trail reroute from recent storm damage.
All participants under 18 will need an adult to sign a waiver for them.
