The Event:
Event details:
We have a number of tasks for the day. The re-location of the trail out into the field to avoid the badly eroded areas that will improve the hiker experience is mostly done – hurrah!! There are a few finishing touches to be done. There are also water diversions that need improvement and refreshing. Work will continue on building a set of stone steps to eliminate a steep and eroded section of trail. Which tasks we tackle that day will depend on the number of volunteers taking part.
The November workday is often our last one of the year as the ground becomes too frozen to work. We do have a day scheduled for December 10th that is always weather dependent. More on that later.
All the tools will be provided, just wear long pants and sleeves with sturdy shoes, bring some water, work gloves (we’ll have extras to use), and your energetic attitude!
Location details:
We will meet at the West Gibraltar Rock Trailhead/Parking lot on Highway V; Watch for the yellow Ice Age Trail Event signs.
