Volunteer Trail Stewards Begin Trail Building at the McKay Community Forest
The Volunteer Trail Stewards (VTS) will commence volunteer workdays on both a weekly and monthly basis at the McKay Community Forest in southeast Eureka, beginning this August. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join monthly VTS workdays starting on Saturday, August 13th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will continue to meet on the 1st Saturday of every month beginning September 3rd. More intensive trail building opportunities will commence on a weekly basis, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Tuesday, August 16th. Volunteers may attend one or all of the weekly workdays, and are encouraged to participate regularly. Some trail building experience is helpful but not required. Volunteer crews will meet at the McKay Community Forest storage container located at Redwood Fields on Fern street (off of Walnut Drive) in Cutten. The storage container is located adjacent to the parking lot. All tools, gloves, trail and safe working techniques training will be provided by Humboldt County and VTS. Volunteers will be required to sign a one-time liability release form that will cover all subsequent workdays. Volunteers should wear appropriate work clothing, boots, and bring a small day pack for carrying food and water as the varying project locations will require some hiking to access (generally 0.5-2 miles). Volunteers are encouraged to arrive at least 15 mins. early so that enough tools and food can be made available to all. Snacks and free lunches will be provided by the County, the Humboldt Trails Council, Los Bagels, Ramone’s Bakery & Cafe, and Eureka Natural Foods.
