Itinerary:

It is nice to give back to an area that many of us enjoy.  For NTD, we'll be working a section of new, recently cut trail.  We'll be finishing rough cut trail and possibly cutting a few areas of virgin trail too, if I can pull a few strings with the trail builder.

As a certified crew leader, I'll explain correct trail design, construction and maintenance techniques while on-site (15 minutes). You'll gain an appreciation for a well built and sustainable trail.

Plan to work roughly four hours. If you can't make the 4 hours, that's fine - arrive/leave as you wish.
