Trail Work Party – Saturday, May 27th, 2006 - 8:45am – Please RSVP by noon, Thursday, May 25th
The Kneeknacker Trail Work Party is now 4 days away they are looking for a dedicated crew. Following is a message from Andrew Wong and Craig Moore, Trail Work Party Co-ordinators:
This year's Knee Knacker Trail Work Party will take place once again on the Baden Powell Trail in the area just below the Seymour Grind. This is a long stretch of trail near Hyannis Drive that rises 300m over 1km. A major trail rehabilitation project will take place on this section involving several running groups over a period of about 4 weeks. We'll be working under the guidance of North Vancouver District Trail and Habitat Coordinator Graham Knell.
Trail Day is Saturday, May 27. We'll be ready to go about 9:00am, but please come early. Many volunteers make for light work so we hope you--and friends and family--can come out to help for a few hours. There will be coffee and treats from Delany's Coffee. No special skills required, although if you have a chainsaw we'd really love to have you.
To volunteer, please e-mail Bonnie. Although you can come and help at the last minute, an early reply will help us plan for the goodies and organize the amount of work we can do on the trail.
Meeting Place:
- Take Mt. Seymour Parkway to Berkley Drive, turn left on Berkley Drive.
- Turn right on Hyannis.
- Turn left on Hill Drive.
- Go up Hill Drive and turn left on Blairview Avenue.
- Park any where around there.
