SUMMARY:Trailwork Party - February 23rd
DESCRIPTION:For this trailwork party we will be meeting at the restroom building at Trailhead Park at 8AM. \nThe Sagebrush Trail has now been made 5 feet wide from the top to the bottom. The crews last week completed cutting out the uphill bank of about 1200 feet of the trail over the 4 days. In a few places they moved the downhill edge over instead so a sagebrush plant on the uphill side could be saved. The wider trail allows more room for runners and bicycles and even other hikers to safely pass other trail users. The crews have been thanked for the work many times as people pass by. \nBut the job is not quite complete. The work this week will be widening the 400 feet of the Sunflower Trail that connects the Sagebrush and Canyon Trails then finish building the new junction and touch up the trail. The weather forecast is calling for more nice temperatures\, little wind and some more sun. Great trail working weather! \nAdvanced notice on Next Week – Starting the new trail!:\nTuesday\, February 25 through\, Sunday\, March 1st\, 8:30 to 12:30 and 12:30 to 4:30 PM\nMeeting location to be determined \nOn Tuesday the Sagebrush Trail will be closed so we can rebuild the corner just above our new junction. We will have an excavator to do the digging and will be moving the dirt to fill in the old corner. This should finish the Sagebrush Trail project so on Wednesday we will START BUILDING THE NEW TRAIL! \nWe pay for the rental equipment by the day so there will be two work shifts each day\, 8:30 to 12:30 and 12:30 to 4:30. I have a few openings for operators of the Kubota mini-excavator and our hauler. Experience operating equipment would be preferred but training is available. While the machines do the hard work but we still need caring hands to finish the trail. Lots of caring hands! Grab a friend or two and come help. The work will mostly be using rakes to remove grass clumps and small rocks and then smooth the dirt out. We plan to add gravel as we go so hopefully you will be able to see fresh new trail before you leave. \nThe trailmaster will provide all the tools and even some cookies at the mid-day break. Volunteers will need to bring work gloves\, water and snacks with a pack to carry them\, and dress for the weather forecast. There isn’t any work for preteens and younger\, it is just hard to keep them motivated for 4 hours. \nSignups help our trailmaster with planning and making sure he bakes enough cookies. Sign-ups are also good in case of last minute changes to the schedule. Please let our trailmaster know that you are coming by sending an email to trailmaster@friendsofbadger.org
