    Default Stephens park trail days

    Saturday and Sunday may 30 and 31st will be the first trail work days at Stephens park. The work will include a lot of bench work with rouge hoes and shovels, moving concrete rubble to various locations for retaining walls, raking leaves off flagged trails and cleanup. We will be starting at 9:30 on both days and volunteers can work as much or as little as they want. I will have 4 rouge hoes a shovel and a wheelbarrow. If you have flat shovels, rakes, or wheelbarrows they will be used. Wear long pants and gloves for safety and water to drink.
    Please post up if you can make it so I can try and plan the activities for the weekend. We will be meeting in the north parking lot behind main softball diamond nearest the pavillion. Stephens park is located at 7th st and 15th ave in moline. Post if you have question and if you can make it... And what tools you may have. Thanks
