Gilita Trail (Glenwood RD)
May 24, 2018 @ 8:00 AM - May 28, 2018 @ 12:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Jim Scanlon, 505-385-0517, scanlon.jim@gmail.com with any questions.
We need your help over the Memorial Day weekend as we will be working on the Gilita trail in the northern part of the Gila Wilderness. This is a really beautiful section of the Gila and we’ll be doing tread work on the trail, brushing and clearing downed logs along the trail corridor. We’ll work all day Friday through Sunday and half a day on Monday.
We’ll be camping at Snow Lake. VFO will be supplying breakfast Friday through Monday and dinners on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Volunteers will be responsible for their own lunches, which we’ll eat on the trail, plus snacks and beverages, adult or otherwise
Most people will arrive on Thursday evening, but if you have constraints, arriving early on Friday is possible. This project does have a maximum of 12 volunteers.
