Join CFPA for a work party to help the Connecticut Woodlands Conservation Corps with the first phase of replacing the bridge at the north end of the Housatonic Range Trail. Projects will include moving lumber, using the Muck Truck (power wheelbarrow), loading rock in ton bags with rock and Highlining them across a stream, filling gabions with stone and possibly more.
All tools provided. All skills welcome. Come prepared to get dirty and have fun. We will be working on steep terrain, and may be hiking more than one mile each way over the course of the work party.
Lucas, CFPA's Assistant Trails Coordinator, will meet you near the Gaylordsville Historical Society at 9:00 am. Directions to parking are here: Google Maps Link.
Please bring LOTS of water (even more than you think you'll need), snacks, bug spray, bug net, sunblock, lunch, rain gear, work gloves, backpack to carry your gear, and any personal items you need to spend a few hours in the woods. Be sure to wear long pants & sturdy closed-toe shoes, long sleeves are recommended. There is always the risk of poison ivy and ticks. No pets please.
Thanks for your support of CFPA and the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails!
