Itinerary:

I've been out of town so much this year and need to restore some Karma.

There is a volunteer work party on Thursday Sep 4 at 8AM, meeting at the West Bragg Creek Recreation Area parking lot (or car pool from town, TBA - I'm flexible) to work on the new Merlin View.

Many of us get a lot of use out of this area and it takes a TON of work to get trails as buff as the West Bragg Creek teams gets and keeps them. We owe them a great big thanks and I can't think of a better way of repaying them than by helping out.

Every work party is a little different but generally there is a range of tasks to be done, if you don't think you're up for heavy lifting, please sign up anyways.

Hiking boots or work boots and long pants are recommended as are any other safe work equipment such as safety glasses and gloves.

For all attending, could you please print out the Volunteer agreement, fill it in and and bring it along that would save some time up front:
