Come lend a hand in the trail
work happening at our Purcell’s Cove Conservation Lands on June
19th and 20th! No previous
experience is required and our Trails Consultant will teach you
the skill sets needed to lend a hand. The weekend will be fun and
full of learning, but will require physical work, moving rocks
and other natural materials.
If
you’re a hiker, a mountain biker, or just appreciate a casual
walk with the dogs, you know that well maintained trails add so
much to the experience. There are a few parts of the trail
towards Flat Lake that prove difficult to traverse and require
restoration and maintenance. Trails don’t maintain themselves
though, and as a charity we rely on volunteers to help keep the
trails accessible to all who use them.
On both
Saturday June 19th and Sunday June 20th we
will be meeting at the trail head opposite Battery Lane on
Purcell’s Cove Road at 9 am. We’ll work until 3 pm, with a noon
time lunch break all together at Purcell’s Pond.
Plan on
wearing sturdy boots, long trousers and bring work gloves if you
have them. Pack a lunch and lots of water. We
will be working with loppers, rakes and trail tools, so
instruction on safe tool use will be provided.
If you
have any questions or wish to express your interest in
participating please send me a message. If you know of someone
else who might be interested pass along my contact
information.
Cheers,
