Middle Fork Trail Day
We will be helping finish the re-route of the Middle Fork Trail. This will involve clearing brush, removing overburden to get to mineral soil and then creating the trail itself. Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks for the trail construction and will be using hand tools to do the building.
