Our main task will involve carrying out old treated wood that has been stashed along the trail, leftover from previous structure construction projects. This will be a fairly strenuous event, involving hiking about a mile while carrying pieces of treated lumber. Come ready to hike! We will also address drainage issues along the trail and cut back encroaching vegetation.

Moderate to Strenuous. Ages 14 and up.
