DESCRIPTION:

Have you been wondering what trail work is all about? Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to kick off the summer hiking season? National Trails Day is a great opportunity to give back to your National Forests through stewardship of your favorite trails.

Join SBFC staff and volunteers on the Sheafman Creek Trail #082. We will perform annual maintenance, including brushing vegetation back to widen the trail corridor with loppers, cleaning leaf litter and rocks from drains with a shovel, and using a crosscut or hand saw to clear any downed trees in the trail.

SBFC will provide lunch, snacks, and cold beverages.
