Description: Join the Chatham Trails Association (CTA) for their Fall Trail Work Weekend in the Evans Notch region of the White Mountains from October 9-12! Our 20s & 30s group will join other CTA volunteers for the weekend.
Trail work will consist mainly of Level 1 maintenance: clearing water bars and drainages, clearing blowdowns, and brushing the trail corridor as needed. CTA will provide tools, personal protective equipment, and instruction - no prior trail work experience is necessary. Some hiking will be needed to get to the trail work sites, ranging up to a few miles each way on moderate terrain. As this is a holiday weekend, the event is scheduled to run through Monday.
Lodging for the weekend will be in rustic cabins at AMC Cold River Camp in Chatham NH. Cabins will be shared with 2-4 people. Weather will be chilly in mid-October - cabins are unheated but each has a fireplace or woodstove. The Camp has centralized hot showers and toilet facilities. All meals (breakfast, trail lunch, and dinner) are provided.
In return for your volunteer trail work, the trip is FREE - all costs are paid for by CTA.
See websites for Chatham Trails Association ( https://www.chathamtrails.org/ ) and AMC Cold River Camp ( https://www.coldrivercamp.org/ ) for more information.
Additional logistical information (e.g., carpool signup, packing list) will be provided to confirmed participants.
