Note: for Applicants, this event qualifies as a work-day

 

Cooler days are a fine time for trail work! Come and see if you might like this kind of outdoor work. First we’ll look at some basic principles that guide trail maintainers’ work. Then we will hike to a nearby trail that needs our attention to get some hands-on experience, we’ll take a lunch break, then work a little more.

Required for the workday: real boots, long pants, long sleeved shirt, hat, jacket, layers for warmth/weather. A day pack, 2 quarts water, a packed lunch, glasses or work safety glasses, work gloves (camp can provide gloves, safety glasses and work tools).

Pick-up is possible at Suffern RR Station, 9:38 a.m. train from NYC

For 100 years our members have cared for trails around Nawakwa! Trail work can be a nice way to “give back” in appreciation for our beautiful public parklands at Harriman and beyond.
