The day will include 3 different hiking / work options:

Meet at the Vershire Center Rd parking area (directions, see below) at 10:30am.  A relaxing family hike – please bring a pot-luck item to share.  A necessary napkins, small plates, utensils, cups, etc to be provided.

2) Leave from Taylor Valley Road at 9:00am and cover the 3.3 miles over Hawkins Mountain to reach the meadow for lunch.  Meet at the Vershire Center Rd parking area (directions, see below) at 8:30am.  We will carpool to the Taylor Valley Rd / Chelsea Rd trailhead.

3) Finally, the morning will include nearby trail clearing from Parker Rd to Vershire Center Rd.  Meet at the Vershire Center Rd parking area (directions, see below) at 8:30am.  Gloves and work clothes recommended for trail clearing and brushing.  Any volunteers with sawyer certification would be of great help with tree work for this event and all other trail work days (TBD).
