Shelby Park Trail Maintenance (Fall 2024)
Do you enjoy spending time in nature? What about serving public lands? Join us for both at the same time! Miles upon miles of trails wind through Shelby Park and Bottoms, allowing park visitors to exercise and connect with nature. To maintain this invaluable shared asset, we will venture into the park to provide maintenance for the natural surface trails.
How will volunteers serve at this event?
Volunteers will be transporting and spreading mulch on the primitive trail to smooth areas that fill with water and/or get muddy when it rains. Using shovels, pitchforks, and rakes, we will lay mulch over these areas to make them passable for trail users.
Accessibility:
This event will include walking a mile or two while carrying tools and pushing wheelbarrows of mulch down the trail to unload and spread on the trail. Porta-potties are located a short walk from our work site.
What to bring?
I recommend bringing your own water bottle and hat/sunscreen. Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes, as we'll be working in the forest along uneven ground with sharp tools. I will provide all necessary tools, gloves, supplies, and additional water.
What’s next?
If you sign up for this event, you will receive a reminder email a few days before the event with specific instructions regarding parking and any other necessary information.
Any questions? Feel free to send me an email at cd@friendsofshelby.org. We hope to see you out there!
