More 2010 events are being planned. Check back for details!
Trail Work Days 2010
All workdays start at 8:30 AM and typically wind down around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. Bring lunch, water, work clothes, and enthusiasm. We supply the tools and encouragement. Call Mike Przybyla for details 603-878-3350.
Trail maintenance goes back to its normal schedule this year after last years bit of weather inconvenience (the Great Ice Storm and aftermath!).
Saturday May 1, 2010 – Mt. Watatic
The first workday will be at Mt Watatic. We'll meet at the Route 119 parking lot at 8:30 AM. We’ll be doing general trail work on this heavily used portion of the trail. We plan on installing some water bars on the section between Mt. Watatic and Nutting ledges as well as improving blazing at the summit. There will also be some minor chainsaw work to remove some downed trees.
Saturday September 25, 2010 – Barrett Mountain
The second workday will be installation of water bars on the south side of Barrett Mountain. We'll meet at the Windblown Ski area in New Ipswich at 8:30. This location is a long hike in so we'll be concentrating on this particular work and less on general trail maintenance.
Saturday October 23, 2010 – Temple Mountain
The final workday will be Temple Mountain where we will be cutting a new trail to connect the parking lot at the new Temple Mountain State Reservation to the Wapack Trail. This is tentative and may change depending on trail conditions and feedback from the State of New Hampshire.
These workdays are a good opportunity to contribute in direct way to the maintenance of the trail, learn some trail maintenance techniques, and have a good time. Hope to see you there.
