Volunteer Event - Columbia Plateau Trail - Wood Chipping

We are looking for a small team of 3 to assist with wood chipping and vegetation clearing along the Columbia Plateau Trail.

We will meet at the Cheney Trailhead off of Cheney-Spangle Road, then load up in our State Park vehicle and pull the woodchipper along the trail for some cleanup. We will also bring chainsaws and brush cutters to continue vegetation clearing along the way.
