The Creekside Trail in Old Trail is due for some mowing and trimming. We will use string trimmers to clear weeds and grass, mow the section up to Jarmans Gap Rd., and lop and prune branches and vines along the trail. We also have a section of boardwalk that needs to be replaced, so if we get enough strong bodies we’ll move that back to where it belongs.
Bring your own tools or use ours. Wear sturdy shoes or boots (not sandals) and bring your own water and bug spray. Gloves and long pants and sleeves are strongly recommended. Under 18 years old must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
It’s not necessary to sign up but if you do, we can get in touch in case we need to change plans because of weather. Here’s the link
Directions: Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the trailhead with the big stairway on Birchwood Hill Rd (use 7647 Birchwood Hill Rd in your GPS to get to the area). Park along the street; be careful not to block driveways or mailboxes. If you arrive late, you can find us by walking down the stairs and following the trail.
IMPORTANT: Please review our safety guidelines before joining a workday and complete and sign the Volunteer Waiver Form if you have not previously done so.
