August with the Trails Crew

Hot weather and many vacations, plus the complication of moving our gear to a new home, mean we’re slowing down a bit, but get ready for September!

Saturday, August 17 โ€” Work day to maintain the trail to Lickinghole Basin, 9-11 a.m. Details here.

Thursday, August 22 โ€” Monthly Meeting at Love2Eat Thai Restaurant, 6:30. Come if you want to know more, help us plan future work, or just get to know a fun group of people. Details here.

About Work Days: Our work days are very flexible โ€” we can find tasks for anyone who can get on the trail. No experience required! We love families and community groups, as long as children under 18 years old are accompanied by a parent or guardian. We recommend long pants, socks, long sleeves, and bug spray because Virginia is a welcoming home to ticks, mosquitoes, and poison ivy.

Note about cancellations: We seldom cancel a work day because of weather, and in the summer sometimes welcome a drizzly day over hot sun. But if the weather seems dangerous, cancellations will be announced on our Facebook page about an hour before the scheduled start.
