Come enjoy the beautiful Bradley woods and help us make our trails more sustainable and easier to use! At this workday we will be continuing work done in the fall to reroute the trail along Nichols Brook on to the ridge above the brook. Tasks will include bench cutting (i.e. flattening out the path with shovels and hoes), raking, trimming branches, hauling brush, and painting blazes along the trail. Dress in sturdy shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. All experience levels are welcome! Work gloves and tools will be provided, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them along.
COST: Free
AGES: Adult and teen
DOGS: Please leave non-service dogs at home.
