We are having a trail day this Thursday 25 June at Illiniwek Park (weather permitting). Post up if you can make it.
Objectives (As time allows):
Clearing a few downed trees from the trails
Cutting weeds and removing debris from the trail tread
Fixing some short sections of trail that are prone to holding water or eroding
Start cutting in an up/down trail for the South Loop.
Tools needed:
Chainsaw
Weedeaters
Rakes
Shovels
Location (View Map):
lliniwek park at the north end of the parking lot on the East side of I-84 at 6:00 PM. In case someone has been living under a rock for the last few months, the Interstate 80 bridge westbound lane is closed.
Notes:
Quite a few of the trails we will be working are flanked by stinging nettles so wearing long pants is advised. Also, bring bug spray because the Mosquitoes are thick right now.
I will post more details if anything changes.
