Participant Information

We will spend about six hours working with motorized brush cutters to clear alder on the lower sections of the Watersprite trail.  In recognition of your efforts, you will be provided with one night's accommodation at the Watersprite Cabin in the new, private, custodian quarters, which sleep 2.  No previous experience is required, but preference will be given to those who are used to running power tools.  We will try to get an early start so we can finish early.  You will be able to book a night in the Watersprite Custodian room at any time in 12 months following your work day.

We need a bit of muscle to pull a log across Watersprite Creek on the winter trail and then onto the hut and peak.
