Trail Work Day

 

SORBA workday in DuPont State Forest- Sunday Jan 31th.

This is a re-schedule of a re-schedule. Meet at 11AM in the Fawn Lake parking area. We will be working on on Reasonover Creek Trail
with wood of all shapes and sizes building elevated wood structures called puncheon.
Tools and materials are supplied. Dress warm as this project is not as physical as tread or rock work. Glasses would be a good idea.

Let me know if you can join us, that helps me plan the day.

Let's hope that the 3rd time is a charm and we can get this done this Sunday.

Woody.
