Trail work day at our Mahanna Cobble Reserve
144 West Mountain Road, Lenox
Saturday, Sept. 28th
10 AM- 2 PM
Volunteers must bring:
Water & food
Wear long pants and sturdy shoes
No tools are required; we have everything necessary, including work gloves.
The work will be cutting brush with hand tools and a little bit of trail repair with hand tools. Project is rated as strenuous due to the terrain; the work itself is light.
Directions and Parking:
Our parking is limited; carpooling is appreciated. West Mountain Road is on the right just south of Arizona Pizza on Route 7. 144 West Mountain is about 0.7 miles from Route 7. Parking is on the shoulder of the driveway near a gate across a side road.
We’ll shuttle tools up the hill by truck; volunteers will walk in about 0.75 miles to the project site. Work will be on a 1.5-mile loop. Adding up the walk in and out and the work loop, total distance will be about 3 miles. The pace will be slow but the terrain is very steep; footing can be slippery.
