Join VTS for weekly workdays at the McKay Community Forest!
When: Every Tuesday & Wednesday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
(please aim to arrive by 9 a.m. so we can secure all tools and supplies before heading into the forest — stay for as long as you’d like!)
Where: Meet at the storage container located at Redwood Fields on Fern St. (off of Walnut Drive) in Cutten
Why: You can build a lasting impact on our community by helping construct new trails that support a diverse range of recreational opportunities for all ages & abilities, learn new skills on trail-building and tools for development, and bridge new connections & friendships with other trail enthusiasts!
