Be ready to jump into vehicles by 12:30pm. Bring a bike if you want to ride back down to your vehicle after the work party. To get to the worksite we will be driving up logging roads. We ask that people prepare to carpool up. If you have a rig that can help shuttle volunteers and bikes to the worksite that you are willing to drive on primitive roads, please bring it. It would be a huge help for our builders, as they can't always fit many folks in their vehicles.

Stop time: 3-4pm. 

What to bring:

  • Food and plenty of water.
  • Work boots or tough hiking boots (sturdy footwear) 
  • Weather appropriate clothing.
