This is a brushing work party, where we will be trimming back excess vegetation on the sides of the trail. This practice helps to gently guide trail users to walk on the trail in a way that reduces erosion, promoting the sustainability of our trails and the health of our streams.
Join us in helping make Forest Park accessible and protecting the long term health of the trails!
When: Thursday, May 26th 9am to 12pm.
What: We will be brushing the trail - help us kick off our brushing season right!
Where: Thundercrest Trailhead. Parking is available in the neighborhood across Skyline Blvd from the trail head (check the map link - the starting location is the parking area, the destination is the trailhead). Please be careful when crossing Skyline Blvd.
Pack plenty of water and dress for all weather conditions. Long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required for your safety. All training, tools and work gloves will be provided. In recent years, Forest Park has seen an uptick in bee activity, if you have any allergies, please bring your prescribed medications in case of emergency!
Additionally, FPC will continue to abide by the Oregon Health Authority guidelines, and we ask that all participants follow our policy guidelines found here. FPC will make every effort to provide materials to keep participants safe and healthy!
