Volunteers Needed July 15

The Far North Trail boardwalk has some significant issues — it’s leaning and dangerous to walk on, and has been closed by the CHA Board until repairs can be made. And that’s where you can help! Please join us on Saturday, July 15, at 10:00 am, at the Far North trailhead, to help fix the boardwalk. We need as many volunteers as we can get as this is a big project.

Bring gloves, and boots or waders, and plan on getting wet. Also, if you have a decent chainsaw, please bring it: we need a few members to help cut the logs used to stabilize the footings.
