We are looking for participants for our next trail building weekend on the 6th and 7th of November at the Krusch Nature Preserve. We will meet in the parking lot at 316 North Cambridge Road at 9:00AM for a short orientation and walk in from there. These work parties usually finish up by 2:00PM.

No trail-building experience is necessary. The work is more "Heavy Duty Gardening" than it is "Bustin' Rocks".

The work on the 150-yard section of new trail is almost complete. This weekend we will start the last of the new trail sections, a 68 yard run a little farther into the preserve. After that, the last remaining new work will be the installation of the route, including bog bridging, that runs from the new Dragon Brook Bridge towards the Cambridge pines.

After that, we will tackle bringing the rest of the existing trail up to standard. Most of this work will start next spring. This year volunteers have completed about 600 yards of new built trail, an impressive total!

We will have a supply of tools but please feel free to bring any that you have. Earth Carrying Totes hard rakes, grass rakes, brush clearing tools, etc.

Bring water, bug deterrent, snacks, and so on. Small first-aid items would be a good idea.

See https://kruschnaturepreserve.org/work-party-days/ for information about the preserve, work party dates, a map, and some recent photographs.

Thank you
