Can you help us with trail work on August 20?
We’ll work on the Hanson’s Creek portion of Centennial Trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park.
Trail work could include things like clearing dead-fall, trash clean up, trimming around trail signage, and adding signage.
Trailhead Meeting Time: 8:45-9:00 am at the Bear Lake Hiking Trail parking lot (Pit toilet available on site).
Carpool Meet-up Time: 7:00 am on Tache Ave, across from Big Sky Run Co (194 Tache - parking on the west side of Tache is not time restricted on Saturdays). We'll leave by 7:15 am. Carpooling is strongly encouraged. Please plan to arrive on time if you are interested in carpooling.
Plan: Expect to cover ~8 km over 4-6 hours of trail maintenance on the Centennial trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and effort, as we are planning this outing regardless of temperature.
*We suggest wearing head nets, loose-fitting pants, long-sleeved shirts, and bug spray to make your day even more enjoyable. *
TIP: Have extra food, dry clothes, and shoes for the ride home. We may jump in Caddy Lake afterward, so bring a towel and suit if you want to take the plunge. Optional stop for food/drinks in West Hawk post-work.
What can I expect to be doing?
Trail work could include clearing dead-fall, cleaning up trash, trimming around trail signage, etc.
Participants will be required to use hand tools like loppers and/or portable saws.
Participants should be able to carry a pack with their own water/snacks for the day as well as have the stamina to cover the hike into the more remote areas of the trail MATR is responsible for.
