TCWP and the North Ridge Trail maintenance volunteers invite everyone to our 2024 National Trails Day work project on the North Ridge Trail in Oak Ridge. The Orchard Lane access trail is located along a water drainage route. Erosion along the ditch has made the trail difficult to follow. We will work to relocate the first 130 feet of the access trail away from the water route.
Workers will meet at the trail head on Orchard Lane Road at 9 a.m. The trail head is the access point that is between 122 and 126 Orchard Lane. You will park along the street. Bring drinking water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and good gloves. TCWP will provide some work tools, but feel free to bring any of your personal tools, including grubbing tools such as mattocks, Pulaskis, fire rakes, rogue hoes, and/or McLeods fire tools. After the work is completed, a pizza lunch will be provided at the home of John Jaruzel, 107 Westoverlook Drive, a short drive from the work location.
Your RSVP helps with planning, the pizza lunch and allows notification in case of cancellation. Contact Jimmy Groton at 865-805-9908 or groton87@comcast.net with any questions.
