Participant Information

We will be using chainsaws, brush cutters, and pruners to cut some of the vegetation growing along the lower half of the road to Red Heather on the Elphin Lake trail.  Bring your work gloves and prepare for a fun day of making this route a little friendlier in the early ski season, which is not so far away.  A great opportunity to give back or get even with those ankle-grabbing shrubs.
