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.

We hope to see you on June 6, as we show our appreciation for the great trails we all enjoy in Oak Ridge and East Tennessee!

Volunteer: East Fork Poplar Creek Greenway Cleanup – Saturday, June 27Join TCWP, the Clinch Valley Trails Alliance, and Greenways Oak Ridge for our sixth annual trash cleanup and peaceful hike along the East Fork Poplar Creek Greenway in west Oak Ridge. This scenic trail winds alongside the creek through a beautiful riparian woodland. Because the area is prone to occasional flooding, trash gets washed from upstream areas down into the creek bed and onto its banks. Volunteers are needed to help remove this litter and keep the area beautiful and healthy. Trash bags and some pick-up tools will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring gloves and wear shoes suitable for mud and water. To sign up, click here: https://forms.gle/qHrDLp9zxmuQYzYu6 We will meet at the Jefferson Avenue intersection with Oak Ridge Turnpike. Parking is available next to the Boys and Girls Club, just a short walk from the Turnpike. If you have questions, contact Hans Christen at 865-414-7277 or hans_christen@yahoo.com.
