Volunteer Work Day - Sweet Run State Park (Rating: Fun)

You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer, https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike.

Sweet Run State Park Virginia features expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sweet Run and Piney Run streams bisect the property. The property includes eleven miles of hiking and 9 miles of equestrian trails along streams, through mature forest, meadows and mountain-side terrains. It is located between Hillsboro, VA, and Harper's Ferry, WV.

They have a need for volunteers to assist in doing maintenance in the park. Some hiking required. We do not know the specific work yet. They recommend bringing work gloves, water and snacks (though they will have some extra gloves just in case). Wear good cover from the sun and wear long pants. This is your chance to do some rewarding work.

We plan to work from 9:00am until noon. After the work you are welcome to bring your lunch to eat at the picnic tables afterwards.

Leader: Ed Brimberg 703-944-9920

Attendees limited to 15.

No dogs permitted.

Park Entry Fee: None, as volunteers they will pass out hang tags to us at the parking lot.
