Greetings, Trail Stewards
It’s time again for our monthly volunteer trail workday in the McKay Community Forest! We hope you can join this coming weekend:
Saturday, July 6th
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Meet at Redwood Fields on Fern St. (off Walnut Drive) in Cutten, at the storage container adjacent to the parking lot at 9:00 AM to collect tools & supplies while reviewing workday guidelines before we head out on the trails.
We work rain or shine – and are looking forward to a pleasantly warm forecast with the temperature approaching the record of 73 degrees (set in 1954)! It may be good to dress in lighter layers with sun protection, and pack a large water bottle.
General Volunteering Guidelines:
Volunteers should wear appropriate work clothing, boots and bring a small day pack for carrying food and water as the varying project locations will require hiking to access (.5 mi to 2 mi generally).
Volunteers are encouraged to arrive 5-10 mins early so that enough tools and food can be made available for all.
All new volunteers will be required to sign a one-time liability release form that will cover all subsequent workdays.
All tools, gloves, trail and safe working techniques training will be provided by Humboldt County and VTS.
