Participant Information

We will be using brush cutters to cut back some of the willow and alder that is encroaching on the parking lot and the start of the trail.  We will be working close to the cars, so no need to carry fuel or tools up the trail.  This is a great opportunity to learn how to use the tools, or if you prefer, get an all-around workout tossing debris.  No previous experience required.  Participants will have the opportunity to use the custodian quarters at the Watersprite Lake in 2026, which are booked separately from the main cabin and reserved for custodians and volunteers.  

Please bring work gloves.

This trip will be weather-dependent.  We will probably work from about 9 am until 3 pm
