VTS Workday: McKay Community Forest

 Hey there, Trail Stewards 

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 sharp to collect tools & supplies while reviewing workday guidelines before we head out on the trails.

We work rain or shine and are seeing “sunshine with a few clouds” along with a high of 58 degrees forecasted for this Saturday. It’s a tricky time of year with the weather, but a bit of rain won’t deter us! Let’s make the most of this beautiful season, before winter hits! 

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.

 Many thanks to all, see you on the trails!
