What to Bring:

• We recommend a long-sleeve shirt and pants for trail work.
• Plan for variable weather – bring warm layers and rain gear.
• Sturdy hiking or work boots (no tennis shoes) and leather work gloves.
• Day pack, water bottles, insect repellent, sunscreen and a hat.
• If camping, bring a headlamp, tent, sleeping gear and toiletries.
• Consider bringing a lawn chair; you’ll appreciate having it to relax around the fire in comfortable clothes at the end of the day.

Special Notes:

We love dogs, but we ask that you not bring them to this event. Woolly mammoths are welcome.
