You Can Help Maintain Arcata Community Forest Trails on Saturday

This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

The City of Arcata’s Environmental Services Department and the Humboldt Trails Council Volunteer Trail Stewards are seeking volunteers to assist with maintaining Trail # 12 in the Arcata Community Forest on Saturday, October 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Volunteers will be cleaning up the trail near the City’s recent timber harvest and rebuilding some of the upper portions of the trail. Participants of all ages are welcome. There will be a variety of tasks to be completed, so volunteers will be able to select the work that best fits their comfort level.

Work will take place rain or shine. Participants are asked to meet at 9 a.m. at the Community Forest parking lot located on Fickle Hill Road, near the entrance of Trail #9. From there, volunteers will carpool to the work site.

Participants are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle, gloves and to wear protective footwear and clothing. Extra gloves and tools will be provided, and lunch will be served at the end of the work day.
