Weekly Update: Last week we lost three days due to the weather but while it was blowing outside we finished the work in the Trails Building Thursday and Saturday, the one good weather day, we did some exploratory work for a trail to Little Badger.  No Badger Mountain Challenge runners over there!

Trailwork Plan: Widening the Skyline Trail will continue being the main work for this season.  We will be making it at least 5 feet wide from below the summit working our way west. For all of these we will meet at the Trails Building by the Westgate Parking lot off of Dallas Road (west side of Badger) and then carpool to near the work.

The trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some homemade cookies at the mid-morning break. Volunteers need to bring work gloves, water, and snacks with a small pack to carry them, and dress for the weather forecast. There isn’t any work for preteens – it is hard to keep them motivated for 4 hours. Those 13 to 15 will have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. You will need to sign-up so the trailmaster can plan the work, bake enough cookies and let you know if plans change. Please let the trailmaster know that you are coming by sending an email to trailmaster@friendsofbadger.org

Can’t make it this week? Well there will be work parties until mid-April. Pick a day and get a friend to come with you and let the trailmaster know you are coming.
