Field Work Description

Volunteers will work side-by-side with a professional crew from AMC led by Matt Moore, the trail crew manager, and will help construct trails and mitigate erosion along the Red Trail and White Trail in Wright Woods. The work will include new tread construction, drainage construction, timber check dam installation, bench cut tread improvements and replanting displaced vegetation from the new trail to fill in the eroded sections.

Helpers should attend the talk given by Matt the week before on the fundamentals of trail building and maintenance that will also include an overview of the specific work being done in Wright Woods.
