Difficulty

Hiking

Easy. This project will be done right off the FS road so no hiking is required. Following the cleanup, participants are encouraged to explore around the area.

Work

Easy. This project should only take a couple of hours at the most. Work will involve cleaning up a junk pile and any other garbage we find along the way.

Itinerary

Meet at the trailhead at 0930. Cleanup will take place followed by exploration and a nature walk. The day is expected to conclude in early afternoon.

There is no deposit for this event, however we ask you to register so we know how many people to expect and what tools to pack!
