MEGA! MEGA! MEGA Prep! Come down early and join other OTA Volunteers to help prep the area that we will be doing a reroute to get out of some troughed trail tread. Work includes clearing the new corridor, leaf blowing and some sawing and flagging crew sections for Saturday.
Where: We’ll be based out of the MTNF Council Bluff Lake campground off of DD. Watch for signs at the entrance to CB and also at the campground if you would like to arrive on Thursday afternoon to start early on Friday.
Bring: Please remember to dress for the work and prepare for the weather by wearing long pants and hiking/work boots are required, as we are working on rough ground and using tools. Bring a backpack to carry your lunch, water, raingear, sunscreen and bug deterrent. Bring plenty of water (2 litres per person recommended) and remember to bring supplies for your fur buddies. Your camping equipment and extra food and water for meals not covered by the OTA. Don’t forget your camp chair for around the campfire at night. Also we are not sure if the water will be on so plan for bringing extra water.
Provided: PPE, hard hats, gloves, safety glasses and trail equipment to use on the trail. Wearing a hard hat is required on the MTNF while volunteering on the OT.
