This is a sign-up for a brushing work party in Forest Park!
Trail maintenance efforts often are context-dependent. The nature of a forest, its ecology, climate, foot traffic, and more can all affect what is necessary to keep the forest healthy and maintain it for the use of its patrons. Brushing is one such necessity in Forest Park. Brushing is the maintenance act of removing debris and excess vegetation from the sides of the trails, up to two feet on the uphill sides of trails and one foot on the downhill side.
When: Thursday, June 15th 2023 9:00am - 12:00pm
