August Monthly Trail Work Party

Put your hands (and not just your boots) on the trails this hiking season by joining Steep Rock Association’s (SRA) Monthly Trail Work Party. The Monthly Trail Work Party meets at 9:30 a.m. the third Saturday of every month from April through October. Participants in SRA’s monthly trail work party learn by doing, tackling new and exciting projects every month, ranging from backcountry trail construction to water and vegetation management. Wear/bring close-toed shoes, long pants, seasonally appropriate clothing, and a re-usable water bottle. Some hiking to the varying worksites will be necessary.

Families with teens and older children are welcome, but an adult must accompany and participate with children under 16 years of age.

Project: We will be continuing trail building activities at Macricostas Preserve. Note that participants must hike roughly 1-mile through steep terrain to reach the work site.

Location: Macricostas Main Parking Area (124 Christian St., New Preston, CT 06777)
