Trail Cleanup Workshop Day

Join the Friends of the Rugby State Natural Area for a fresh look at the Allerton Ridge Trail where we’ll mostly be clearing up any newly fallen limbs and checking trail conditions. Travis Bow will be here to — weather permitting — help us work on a new section of the trail by cutting into the bank to level and widen the path, plus pruning roots and other obstructions. Travis will bring heavier tools for the digging. Dress for the hopefully warmer weather, wear hardy shoes or boots and bring lopers, hand trimmers, gloves and water if possible. (This won’t involve time in a creek, like the January work day pictured here on Laurel Branch Trail.) No registration needed. Just show up at the Rugby Visitor Centre at 10 a.m. Eastern and we’ll go from there. Winter trails are great with great views and no bugs! WE’LL POST IT HERE IF WEATHER FORCES A CHANGE IN THIS WORKSHOP.
