About the event
This project will consist of a lot of brushing to clear the trail of overgrown alders and other vegetation. It is steep, uneven, and sometimes muddy terrain, and volunteers will be hiking with tools. The hike begins at the Near Point Trailhead in the Stuckagain Heights neighborhood. From end to end, the worksite is just shy of 1 mile. Volunteers will meet at the Stuckagain Heights Trailhead at 9:45 am. There are only five parking spaces at this Trailhead, so consider finding rides with each other.
What to bring: Rain gear, sturdy work/hiking boots, snacks, water, sunscreen, bug spray, long work pants, and work gloves and safety glasses if you have them (if you don't have gloves/safety glasses they will be provided for the day).
What NOT to bring: Alcohol, drugs, children, pets, and firearms.
Notes: Volunteers should be able to hike in steep, uneven, and sometimes muddy terrain and have a good attitude. Volunteers will hike between 2-3 miles total. This is a moderate to challenging hike where you will be carrying tools as well.
