IFP Spring Maint. Workday - Wed 3/21 @ 5pm

[DH001]

We're working on some maintenance projects this Wednesday at Illiniwek starting @ 5pm. Trails should opening for the season in the next couple of weeks and need a little love. We'll meet up by the salt dome on the South Loop (directions here).

The Plan:
Rebuild some berms, smooth ruts/footprints, fix any erosion areas, clear drains, dead-fall patrol, trimming back overgrowth, etc. We'll walk the whole south loop and pick off items as we go.

Tools needed: Flat shovels, rogue hoes, loppers, folding saws. I'll have spares to loan out as well. If someone wants, they can run the backpack leaf blower to clear drains and get leaves off the trail so they can dry faster.

If you can make it, let me know!

Thanks everyone who made it out tonight! We walked the entire south loop and fixed a bunch of drainage issues, rebuilt a few berms, and smoothed out ruts/footprints. We'll plan on doing the same on the North Loop next week if the weather cooperates.

Keep an eye on the trail app tomorrow, Illiniwek may be open for riding! Needs a bunch of tires to get the tread recompacted (fatbikes would be great).
