Blackstone Bay Beach Campsite Hardening and Trail Restoration June 26-30

Up to four volunteers needed to help create hardened campsites, finish the trail to outhouse, close excess trails, and remove a number of downed trees by crosscut saw. The work requires good physical condition and an interest in learning basic trail/campsite maintenance techniques. Volunteers will use hand tools and natural materials such as logs and beach gravel to create durable camping surfaces, restore vegetation, and prevent erosion. Crosscut saws will be used to remove trees toppled during a 2018 wind event.
