TRAIL WORK SCHEDULE FOR MAY
Hello All,
Below is the trail work schedule for May for both the new trail in Pine and for Trail 15, which is part of the Fire on the Rim racecourse. As you can see, there are many opportunities for you to participate even. I’ll be sending a separate notice of this work event with complete details soon.
Meeting place for work on the new trail is the forest road off the east side of Hwy 87, second entrance north of milepost 269. It requires a high clearance vehicle. Meeting place for work on Trail 15 is on FR 428 (Hardscrabble Rd turns into 428) at the turnout for Walnut/Oak Springs Trail.
See you on the trail! - Janet
May 23 – Thursday – 09:00 am till 1:00 pm. Work on new trail. Bring own lunch/snacks and water.
May 25 – This Saturday, May 25, we will work on Trail 15 and will meet at 9 am just past the cattle guard after Hardscrabble Rd turns to dirt. Since fire restrictions go into effect Wed, we will be serving a cold cut/chips lunch. Please respond to let me know if you can help out so we’ll know how much food to provide. You can find the Trail Work Schedule at www.psfuelreduction.org Thanks and see you on the trail! - Janet

There were nearly 100 volunteers for last years race and more will be needed this year as the event will be expanded to cover the weekend of September 14, 15 & 16. This is an excellent activity for the Rim Country as it encourages people from all walks of life to visit our area, learn about our town and boost the local economy.
There are many duties to assign and details to work out before the race. You can fill out the form on the Contact Us page and let us know what you’d like to do to volunteer for this great event.
