This year's Knee Knacker Trail Work Party will involve a project on the
Baden Powell Trail in the Mosquito Creek area at the top of Prospect Road in
North Vancouver. This stretch of trail has some steep sections that are
worn down and rough areas that need our attention. We'll be working
under the guidance of North Vancouver District Trail and Habitat Coordinator
Graham Knell.
Trail Day is Saturday, May 31st. We'll be ready to go at
about 9:00 a.m. but please come early. Many volunteers makes 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.
RSVP by Wednesday, May 28th. 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.
To volunteer for Trail Day, please e-mail
our Volunteer Coordinator.
