Trail Maintenance
2011 Maintenance Days
Aug 20, Sept 17
A lot of work is needed to maintain the Trail. Why not consider joining us on a Trail Maintenance Day? You will be carrying out tasks to keep the Trail open and safe so that hikers will enjoy their experience when they hike our section. You could be doing tasks such as building bridges and stiles, sidelogging a hill, constructing a boardwalk over a wet a rea, removing fallen trees, clearing grass and brush, putting up signs, or painting blazes. Usually you are part of a work crew. Scheduled Trail Maintenance Days are on weekends, but specific tasks may be carried out when volunteers are available.
An extensive list of activities has been prepared by the Bruce Trail Conservancy Trail Audit Team and their report may be downloaded below. (Note: This is a very long PDF document, running to 115 pages. High speed internet connection is recommended.)
