Project Information:
We’ll be building a new section of trail across moderate-to-steep terrain. We’ll use digging tools to clear organic material from the ground and excavate for the trail surface. We’ll also use measuring tools and pin flags to make trail alignment adjustments and mark them clearly. Most of the project area is in dappled shade. We’ll work at a comfortable pace and take plenty of breaks.

## What to bring:

• Plenty of water
• Snacks/lunch
• Work gloves if you have them (loaner gloves available)
• Any medications or emergency supplies you may need
• Sunscreen + insect repellent
• A pack to bring all of this with you on trail
• TKO provides all tools and personal protective equipment (hard hats, gloves, glasses)

What to wear:

• Boots (Please wear something sturdy that will protect your toes from sharp tools. Tennis shoes are not recommended. Open-toed shoes will not be allowed.)
• Long sleeved shirts and pants
• Rain gear, insulating layers, sun protection, etc. as appropriate for the weather
