Description

Join CFPA for a work party to continue  with the first phase of replacing the bridge at the north end of the Housatonic Range Trail. Projects will include setting and filling gabions with stone closing the gabions up and installing the sill plates. This will allow us to get finial length measurements for the required bridge so planning and prepping can happen over the winter!

All tools provided. All skills welcome. Come prepared to get dirty and have fun. We will possible be working on steep terrain.

Alex and Lucas, CFPA's Trails Coordinator team, 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!
