The weather is looking good today! Let's hope it holds out for this weekend. On Saturday the Backcountry Horsemen are leading a work party to do some trail maintenance, feel free to join in the fun! - Notice is below...
REMINDER:
Important Work Party in The Trillium Community Forest
WHEN
Sat., Nov 5th at 1:00pm BEING ON TIME IS IMPORTANT HAVE LOCKED GATES!!!
This Work Party is organized by Island County Chapter -Backcountry Horsemen (others welcome)
WHERE
This is the gate where the sign was mounted showing progress for raising funds, it is South of Classic Rd but North of the turn off Hwy 525 to Mutiny Bay Rd.
WHO:
I have heard from the following BCH members: Deb R., Becky, Paula and Tim, Ann L., Mary C., Linda R., and Diane D. I could still probably use a couple more helpers, also could use a few 4H kids with rakes to remove what we trim from the trails. Call my cell if lost that day 206-730-2519 and email me if you have questions
WHAT: We will be cutting down some small trees to remove "knee knockers", cutting branches up high that are "sweepers" for horse riders and LOTS on salal from the middle section of the trail.
HOW: I have two gas fired hedge trimmers (owned by BCH) that will work great on the salal, need several more people with weekeaters, two small chain saws (I will bring one), a couple of extendable handle pole pruners for high up branches and lots of hands.
We will be let through the two locked gates, one at thehighway and another gate about 1/4 mile in at end of the asphalt road at the "upper road"/trail. We will drive on in with our vehicles and divide into two teams going in at both ENDS of that trail, hoping to "meet in the middle" and do so WITHIN two hours IF we have enough of a crew.
