Volunteer Event - Centennial Trail - Forest Health (Thinning)

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Happy Arbor Day!

Join us to improve young stands of Ponderosa Pine and Doug Fir through reducing overcrowded stands. Giving trees proper spacing allows them to grow with health and vigor instead of competing with one another for space, light, and water. We will use handsaws and loppers to remove trees and lay them alongside the trail to prepare for the woodchipper to make a pass through at a later date.

We will meet at Wilbur Trailhead and walk or shuttle down to the thinning site (1/4-1/2 mile from the trailhead).

Things to bring:

-Discover Pass (we can issue a day pass)

-Gloves

-Eye Protection (we have some to share) 

-Handsaws/Loppers (we have plenty, but you are welcome to bring your own) 

-Long pants and closed toe shoes 

-Bike (optional - to ride to the thinning site from the trailhead)

Volunteer Event - Riverside State Park - Trail Maintenance

Riverside State Park and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance Eastern Washington Chapter are teaming up to begin restoration of the trails that were damaged during the recent Forest Health Project. Join us June 7th for this National Trails Day event where we will focus on trails 25 and 400 in the Deep Creek area of Riverside State Park. Meet at 8:15am at the Seven Mile airstrip for introductions and instructions. We will head to the work areas in groups via car pool, a short hike to the closest work site, or bring your bike and ride about 2.5 miles to the far work site. We will all return at noon to the airstrip for a barbecue lunch. If you're available and ready to work a bit more after lunch there will be crew leaders and tools still available.
