VOLUNTEER TRAIL BUILDING DAY !!

Here is a great opportunity for us to give back and show our support for all of the trails we love to explore. The Cumberland Trail Conservancy is having a Volunteer Trail Building Day. Volunteers will help construct a new section of the Cumberland Trail in Sale Creek, TN.

These are fun filled days where you hike in @ 1.5 miles, spend about 4 hours building trail and then hike out. The work involves removing duff (top layer of organic matter), cutting trail, removing rocks, building steps and finishing work so you get to see the final results of your efforts. An added benefit is that you will get a preview of this new section of trail which is slated to be complete this year.

Volunteers MUST register with the Cumberland Trail Conservancy at This Link. Volunteer capacity is limited so it is important that you register so the CC has a proper count of volunteers.
RSVP'ing on Meetup for this event does not count as Registration.

Volunteers should meet at 9:00 EASTERN at The Upper Legget Trailhead

No trail building experience is necessary. The Cumberland Trail Conservancy will provide tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), safety instruction, and project leadership.

The CTC recommends the following:

• Long pants
• Sturdy hiking boots
• Weather-appropriate clothing
• Rain gear
• Backpack (20L or larger recommended)
• At least 1 gallon of water
• Lunch and snacks

I hope to see you there as we help complete the Cumberland Trail.
