Helene cleanup is being scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, weather dependent. Chainsaw sawyers require swampers to help with assessments, safety observance, and removal of cuts. In places, the trail needs to be temporarily relocated with ribbon placement and perhaps blazing. And of course, there is a lot of debris that requires removal. All tools will be furnished, and no prior experience is required! All are welcome. Email Tim for details.
Please bring the following items in your day pack:
– Work gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and hard hat if you have one (otherwise provided)
– Plenty of drinking water
– Lunch and snacks
– Appropriate work clothes and boots/shoes
– Appropriate cold weather/rain gear. If the weather changes, we may have to cancel. Please check your email for updates!
Please note that standard safety equipment will be required. The blowdown entanglements are difficult to navigate, and volunteers will need to be able to go over, under and through large fallen trees.
The work day plan is likely to change and evolve, as required. Please email Tim Stewart at saturdaymaint@tehcc.org for more information.
