May 22nd - Trail Tuesdays!
Tue, 05/22/2012 - 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Jacobson

Attention all trail users!  Come and get your hands dirty with the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust at a trail work party and help take care of the trails we are all so fortunate to enjoy.  This Tuesday May 22nd is sponsored by Run Wenatchee and we will be working at the Jacobson Preserve.  Meet at the WRAC parking lot at 4:30.

Bring gloves and hand tools (shovels, hard tined rakes, Pulaski, we will have some if you don’t) and wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing.  Water and snacks are also a good idea.  We will provide a safety briefing, instruction on how to use tools, and guidance for those who have never done trail work before.  Children are invited with adult supervision and all those under 18 will need a waiver signed by a guardian.  Please No Dogs.  Call or email Tina at (509) 667-9708 or tduffey@cdlandtrust.org  for more specific information and to RSVP.
