Description
*This is not a hike. This is a habitat restoration work party. It is being entered into the hike schedule as a pilot in response to asks for work parties be added to the schedule in addition to the volunteer communications 🙂 *
Our Club is now maintaining the section of main trail that goes through the Badlands. Earlier this year, volunteers worked for days to improve the main trail with limestone/gravel to eliminate muddy sections and ensure the trail is satisfactory for the many visitors to this section.
On Sunday, November 9th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00, volunteers are needed to assist with removing the invasive species of buckthorn and prune back the larger buckthorn trees. Volunteers will be provided with "extractigators" but, please bring your own loppers if you have some.
Bring gloves, water, snacks etc for yourself.
