SWTrails’ monthly Thursday Work Party on March 5th 2020 will be at April Hill Park from 9 am to noon.  We will be working on the trail tread surfaces leading into and through the Natural Area adding gravel and widening areas that have narrowed over time.

Portland Parks has requested that our SWTrails volunteer group sign up ahead of time, so they can better prepare for the group size. They have set up a project web page on SOLVE. If you plan to attend please use the page link below, or just reply to me via this email–daville50@outlook.com— and I will add you to our SWTrails group.

Please consider joining us out on the trail in 2020 as these work parties are designed to support a wide range of worker capabilities and build community in our neighborhoods. We welcome all and all abilities. So give some thought to joining us or just stop by and say hi.

As always, our work is guided by the Portland Parks Lands Stewardship folks. Parks will bring all the tools, gloves, and materials we need, and also coffee, snacks, water, and usually some fruit. On these work parties it is not necessary to stay for the whole event and you can work at whatever level your skill and energy allows. It is just great to meet the neighbors and get a little trail work in.

When you join us please wear work clothing, closed toe shoes and weather appropriate layers.  It is the NW who knows what weather we will get but layers are always good.
