Volunteer: National Trails Day Work on North Ridge Trail – Saturday, June 6TCWP will host their annual National Trails Day work project on the North Ridge Trail on Saturday, June 6. Trail stewards regularly report to TCWP on trail conditions, and any large-scale work projects needing attention are addressed on National Trails Day. This year’s project will be building a small bridge over a water channel crossing the Endicott Lane access trail. We are working with experienced trail builders to prepare a design and material requirement list. On June 6 we will need volunteer hands to deliver material one-half mile to the construction site, as well as to assist in construction work. The access point is located just past 103 Endicott Lane (just off East Drive at the east end of Oak Ridge). There is room for a half-dozen cars to park safely off the road. Plan to carpool if possible. Participants should plan to arrive by 9 a.m. for a safety briefing and a review of the work. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and bring work gloves, water, sunscreen, and insect repellant. TCWP will provide a pizza lunch after the work is complete. Pizza and drinks will be served at Cedar Hill Park, 609 Michigan Ave., at around noon. There is plenty of parking near the covered gazebo at the park.
