HARRIS LAKE WEEKDAY WORKDAY (BASIC TRAIL MAINTENANCE)

What:
Basic trail maintenance workday at Harris Lake.
We will be doing some basic trail maintenance... deberming and clearing drains.
**If you don't know what deberming is don't worry, come anyways, we
will teach you.
We will be splitting into groups to cover more trail in less time.
Who:
Everyone is welcome.
What to bring:
If you have a rogue hoe please bring it. (please mark it so we can tell it apart from the park's rogue hoes.)
If you have a backpack blower please feel free to bring it.
Blowers make clearing drains super quick and easy.
All other tools are provided.
Bring work gloves, water, snack if ya want, and bug spray if you want it. Water in your hydration pack works well for these workdays as we will be continually walking the trail and you can just leave it on your back.
What to wear:
Everyone MUST wear closed toe shoes/boots.
Where and when to meet:
We will meet at the park office. It is the first right after you enter the park.
We will meet at 9:45am for the sign in and safety brief before hitting the trails at 10:00am.
We will end no later than 1:00 pm but if you need to leave earlier you are welcome to leave when you need to. I just ask that you let me know so that I can assure that everyone has made it off the trail as I have to report this to the park office.
