Please join the ATA January 2-5 on Passages 19 in the Superstition Mountains near Roosevelt Lake for a trail work event. This project is rated moderate. This 4 day project will focus on brushing, treadwork and drainage work. This is a backcountry event
This 4 day project will focus on brushing [removing vegetation from trail corridor – this vegetation can be thorny or woody, so clearing it is important to keeping the trail open to users], treadwork [repairing or improving the trail surface] and drainage work [constructing, clearing, or improving the excavated trail features to divert water away from the tread]. We’ll be working with hand saws, loppers, rakes; pick mattocks and cutters for grubbing, Mcleods, rogue hoes, pulaskis, rakes and spades, but other kinds of tasks may be needed once we are on site. All tools and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided.
No prior trail work experience is required – we’ll provide necessary instruction and guidance for new volunteers. Must register!
