Spring/Summer Trail-Work Schedule
Here's a schedule of the work sessions we've got planned through the end of July. All dates are subject to change based on weather or other unforeseeable circumstances, so it's best to check back here for any updates before heading out to work. We'll post additional details (such as meeting spot) for each date as it approaches. We rely 100% on volunteer support so if you have any time to spare, even just a few minutes, please consider lending a hand. No experience is necessary. Thanks and hope to see you out there.
Andy is leading this weekend's trail work. Hit him up by e-mail (see below) for details.
