Date: Sunday March 23rd
Time: 8am-1pm
Location: Tapeworm trail in Renton
On March 23rd a group of us locals are going to do a big trail cleanup, fix/add drains in the lower area and replace/add some new bridges over trouble spot. We are looking for all the help we can get.
We will be:
raking/clearing the main trail of debris
trimming back branches/low hanging materials
restoring/building drains
Replacing rotted bridges/boardwalks (at least 3 new bridges will be rebuilt)
We will be starting at 8am, and hopefully we will have enough people to break into small groups to get done all the stuff we want to do. Come out for the whole thing, or swing by for a few minutes and help out during your ride. No experience is needed either, as we will have people who can guide groups and help give directions. We will be doing things that range from replacing a 40ft curvy boardwalk thru a swampy area, to stuff as simple as raking off dead leaves.
If we get a good group of people we can bring out some BBQs and coolers too!
One thing we will NOT be doing is dumbing down the trail. We wont cut out roots, reroute the trail to make it "easier" or anything like that. We just want to restore one of the few in city trails we have, while maintaining the techy skill building fun of the trail.
We do have a few tools, but could use more metal rakes, hand clippers and saws, and any other tools you find handy.
If you have any questions or want more info you can contact us at
"wormriders at comcast.net" . If you want to join us and have any particular skills let us know, but we can use people of all skill levels! All help will be very appreciated.
