Gold Hill Community Forest/Chewelah - New trail work party, Saturday May 4th 9:00AM start

Come help hone new trails--we just had an excavator on-site April 22-29 and we're looking for volunteers to help put the finishing touches on new trail work and prepare for our Gold Hill Celebration event on May 18..

With the new trails, Gold Hill is quickly reaching 'critical mass' and becoming a legit mountain biking destination. 

Background on Gold Hill Community Forest - Gold Hill is a 400 acre community forest recently acquired by the Chewelah Valley Land Trust (CVLT) located just north of Chewelah (the north side of the Golf & Country Club) in Stevens County. Trails are in the early stages of development, so there will be everything from brushing, digging, raking to develop new trails to brush trimming and vegetation management on existing ones.

CVLT & Evergreen will have some tools on-site to get this job done—but if you have a favorite trail-building tool (e.g. shovel, rake, Rogue hoe, McCleod, loppers, or similar), please bring those along. Gloves, sturdy shoes/boots and safety/sun glasses strongly recommended.

Logistics:

• When: Meet at 9:00 AM - stay for an hour or two--or longer if you like.
• Where to meet: The new Chewelah Community Forest parking lot  ( https://goo.gl/maps/ZFViFhjrTeLRqFV3A) near the Chewelah golf course.
• What you should bring: Work gloves, eye protection, sturdy footwear, and your favorite trail-building tool l if you have one (don't forget sunscreen and water!)

We look forward to seeing you!
