Build - Matson Hill - Trail Building Day 11-13-21

 Registration is closed for this event

Date: Saturday, November 13, 2021 - 9am - 1pm

Location: Matson Hill, new parking lot off Stub Road. We will be meeting at the Stub Rd parking lot.

Build Plans:  We just received approval to reroute the field crossing. We will also have crews up on the Hays hill improving the turns.

COVID-19 & Trailbuilding: As most trail crews are small, working outside of normal exposure to the public, trail building is an inherently “socially isolated” activity. GORC believes that utilizing best practices in maintaining a hygienic and safe work site can minimize the potential of exposure to COVID-19 for volunteers and the general public.  We will require all volunteers to maintain a physical distance of 6' while working.  If that is not possible, a mask will be required.  If you feel sick or have been exposed to someone who has recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, please stay home.  We will look forward to seeing you at a future trail build.

Where: We are meeting at the new parking lot off Stub Rd. Take Hwy 94 to Hwy F. Turn right on F. Stub Rd. will be on your left about 3 miles down F. Coordinates of Boone Hays House 38.62328043491183, -90.8225244370483

Why: We just received approval to reroute the field crossing. We will also have crews up on the Hays hill improving the turns.
