Description

The trail relocation is almost done! Join CFPA for our third work party to reopen the Northern Section of the Pequot Trail near Preston!  The primary work will include clearing brush on the new trail corridor and leveling the trail surface. There may also be blazing and sawyer work for those with experience and interest. All tools provided. All skills welcome. Come prepared to get dirty and have fun. We will be working in uneven, rocky and steep terrain. 

Julia, CFPA's Trails Intern, will meet you at the parking area. We will have about a 1 mile hike into the worksite carrying tools. We will return the same way at the end of the day.

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.

We will meet at 9:00am in the Preston Ridge Vineyard parking lot. Directions to parking are here: Google Directions Link. Plan for a prompt arrival- we will hike in as a group. 

Thanks for your support of CFPA and the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails!
