Trail Work Days 2013
Thanks to all who participated in our April 28, 2012 Workday!
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.
Saturday May 11, 2013 – Miller State Park / Pack Monadnock
The first workday will involve general maintenance and drainage work along the well used section of trail between the the two Packs. There are some drainage issues on the north side of Pack and the entire section needs a good trim. We will also be re-blazing the section. Meet at the Miller State Park lower parking lot at 8:30AM.
Saturday September 28, 2013 – Windblown XC Ski Area / Barrett Mountain
The second workday will be along the new Wapack Trail section through Windblown. This recent reroute has been in use for a few years now and we will be doing general drainage work on those sections where erosion has started. Meet at 8:30AM at the Windblown parking lot.
Saturday October 26, 2013 – TBD
The final workday has not been finalized yet, but we are considering some stone work in Miller State Park where we worked a few years back with the Trailwrights constructing steps. Stay tuned.
The location of these workdays may change, check back here for any changes and updates.
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.
