Join CFPA for a work party to Help the Connecticut Woodlands Conservation Corps Replace the bridge south of the Sessions Woods Youth Camp by building the Gabion Baskets that will be filled with stone and used as the Abutments.  This will require bending and cutting heavy gauge wire. 

All tools provided. All skills welcome. Come prepared to get dirty and have fun. We will be working either in or just outside of the CFPA Workshop. There will be the option of using the fridge in the CFPA Community room.

Alex, CFPA's Trails Stewardship Coordinator, will meet you at CFPA Headquarters at 9:00 am. Directions to parking are here: Google Maps Link.
