This event will primarily consist of using hand-tools such as rogue ho's, mcleods, and pick-mattocks to re-define sections of trail tread that are falling into disrepair. We will be digging into the tread to create/fix sections of back-slope, as well as digging out sediment build-up on the out slope of the trail tread. Several sections will also need to be reshaped to meet standards for sustainable trail, which involves digging small amounts of dirt out at a time, usually from center tread out towards the "critical edge" of the trail, with the end goal being that the trail has a slight angle going towards the down-hill side to ensure water drains properly off of the trail. There will also be a group who stays closer to the Trailhead kiosk, helping out by picking up any trash around the parking area. There is potential for a new Kiosk to be installed as well. Currently, we are obtaining the proper materials to construct this new Kiosk - if everything is squared away by September 27th, the new Kiosk instillation will also be part of the event.
