Date/Time
Date(s) - Nov 7th, 2020
9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Five college students pose with tools in the woods. — UMass volunteers take a break from trail maintenance to pose for a picture

Join Audrey, HLT’s new TerraCorps Land Stewardship Coordinator, and other volunteers for a fun morning hiking and clearing trails at our Stevens Property in Huntington & Westhampton. We need to re-blaze our long loop trail plus cut and chainsaw downed trees across trails to improve hiker experience and safety.

Note we will hike 1+ mile of mild to moderate trails to get to the section that needs maintenance. We will be back to the parking area at 12:00 pm.

We will be utilizing chainsaws, hand saws, loppers, paint, paint scrapers, and our muscles!!! HLT will provide a few hand saws, loppers, paint, and paint scrapers (please bring your own hand tools if you have them) but we will need at least 1 volunteer willing to bring and carry their chainsaw and PPE.

Please bring with you:

a full water bottle
weather appropriate clothes/gear (hat, layers, etc.)
safety and comfort supplies (mask, hand sanitizer)
work gloves
lunch/snacks
safety glasses (if desired)
small pack to carry anything you may need including the above

Please read our in-person event procedures below. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we will be following these procedures for all of our in-person events until further notice.

Masks (securely covering both the mouth and nose) must be worn by all participants for the duration of the event.
Social distancing (allowing for six or more feet between individuals from different households) is required at all times.

If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms (including but not limited to: fever or chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, nausea, and/or loss of sense of taste or smell), please wait until symptoms subside before attending an event.
