Dan Andrews Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hello everyone, Tomorrow is the clean up at the Glen/Whirlpool From 8:am to around 10:am it may run a little over depending on areas being covered. They are calling for ran 40% for Saturday.Note: If it is raining steady or heavy the clean up will be cancelled do to safety reasons. There will be sign in/out form for everyone involved in the clean up to sign, so we can keep track of groups and to know that everyone has made it back up safely. If there is enough people they will be divided up into 5 Groups - Group #1 (Leader needed) will do the general clean up of the Glen Main trails (do to recent rock slides on the Spring Trail that trail will be left off the clean up. It runs as a side trail from River Path between Foster's Flat and Woodland Path). Group #2 Will work on fire pit removal in the Glen. Lead by Mark Buma. Group #3 (Leader needed) Will hike from the Whirlpool to the Glen on River Path. Group #4 (Leader needed) Will clean up Whirlpool decent and beach area. Group #5 Lead by Lisa and Steve Wilson will take the Whirlpool Southwest Trail to the entrance to Whirlpool and back. This is a tricky Trail and caution is needed. Experienced hikers only. Also two people will be needed to stay at the entrance's(Glen/Whirlpool) so they can have the groups sign off as the come up. Leaders will be in Safety vest if enough availablebe I hope the rain holds off, and as the saying goes Safety First, please don't rick injury for garbage/recyclables. Hope to see you there Bruce Macdonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
