Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore Spring Work Day
It’s a hike! It’s a trail work event! It’s BOTH! We invite you to join the Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore Chapter for our Spring Work Day on Saturday, April 26, 2025! We will construct a kiosk and install a boot brush in the parking area. If we have enough volunteers, we will form teams and hike sections to clear blowdowns from this beautiful winter. You have never worked so FUN!
Work Location: We will focus on the area around Trout Brook Pond NCT section which stretches from vicinity MI-507 to MI-519 on the NCT Maps. (Note: These mile numbers could change with map updates.)
Link-up Time and Location: We will meet at 9 AM at the Trout Brook Pond Trail Parking Area off of H40. The parking area is located at:
Lat/Long: 46°11’17.7″N 84°47’03.9″W or (46.188235, -84.784419)
Bring: water, food, bug repellent, sunscreen, work gloves, rain gear, and A FRIEND.
Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and bring a change of clothes for the end of the day. We will provide all tools and no special skills are needed because we also provide training. We encourage people new to trail work to come out and give back to the trail. Remember that “many hands make light work”.
