Brown Mountain trail maintenance

Join us for a rewarding workday on Brown Mountain trail to help out fellow hikers and trail maintainers Lynn Hatch and Anna Castle. This scenic and remote trail lies almost entirely within the federally designated wilderness area in the Southern District of the Shenandoah National park
Workday details: Our primary focus will be controlling water erosion along the sloping trails. We will accomplish this by installing new water diversion structures and refurbishing existing ones. In addition, we will clip vegetation along the trail as needed. All participants will receive training, and we encourage individuals with all levels of experience to take part. The work can be strenuous as it involves some digging, moving rocks and sawing.
What to bring: We will provide hard hats and tools, but if you have clippers or small saws, please bring them along. Wear work clothes and boots, bring work gloves and safety glasses. Pack plenty of water, snacks, lunch, and insect repellent.
Meeting Time and Place: Skyline Drive Milepost 76.9 at 9 AM. Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking.
