North Branch Canal Trail Work Day

4/17/2014

0 Comments

 
Our next North Branch Canal Trail work day will be next Tuesday, April 22, from 9:00am to 12:30pm.  We’re going to change things up a bit this time, returning to the Mahoning Township ‘trailhead’ where we began back in December.  Rather than clearing woody vegetation, our attention for this work day will turn to grading the trail surface with hand tools and my tractor.  We’ll work to grade as much as we can during the morning, then turn to seeding, liming and fertilizing before covering with straw at the end of the work day.

For those who have not been to this location before, the work site is on River Drive, roughly one mile east of the Danville Area Soccer Park.  Please look for my silver Toyota Tundra with a silver cap parked on the river side of the road, immediately before the railroad grade crossing.

As mentioned above, Tuesday’s work will involve trail grading.  Rather than the tools we’ve been using during the last few weeks, we’ll now need shovels, picks, rakes and other tools suited to this type of work.  Volunteers should wear sturdy work boots and work gloves.  Only MARC staff and veteran trail crew volunteers will be permitted to operate power equipment.  All volunteers will be required to sign liability waivers before beginning any work.  Because of the legal agreement governing trail construction and access, please understand volunteers may only be on site during the times listed above, in the presence of MARC representatives.  The trail corridor remains closed to public access until further notice

If you would like to join us for this work day, there is no need to RSVP.  Please simply plan to meet at the work location during the times listed above.  If you have any questions or need more information, please email me at this address or call me on my cell phone at (570) 336-2060.  Thank you for your interest in the North Branch Canal Trail project

Additional Note:   Please be advised, the Bloomsburg/Catawissa/Danville area river cleanup event scheduled for next Saturday, April 26th, is being cancelled.  River conditions are not ideal for this event and we have been unable to attract sufficient volunteers to safely conduct the cleanup

The May 17th Berwick area event remains on the calendar.  We will continue to monitor river conditions and seek volunteers for the event.  If you are interested in participating in the May 17th cleanup, please contact me by phone or email to learn more
