Pick a project:
Thompson Creek Trail – Crosscut sawyers needed to remove a large blowdown from the trail about 1 mile in. Non-crosscutters needed also for support and swamping. This crew will also re-plant the trail 206 signpost at White Oak Branch. Tools will be provided.
Borden Creek – This crew will remove the old kiosk (roofed sign board) at the curved bridge, then naturalize campsites along the west side of Borden Creek. The gate at the top of the hill will be opened so that a truck can be driven to the bridge and the old, dismantled kiosk trucked out. Bring any tools that can be used in taking apart a large, standing wooden structure, such as pry bars.
