As I mentioned in a post from a couple of months ago, Danny Bernstein from the Carolina Mountain Club has organized a series of trail workdays in the Great Smoky Mountains this summer. The workdays are in conjunction with the Trails Forever program.
The next workday will be next Saturday, July 24th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Volunteers will be working on the first few miles of the Rainbow Falls Trail. Work will include cleaning drains, pruning vegetation, and digging out sloughed off bank to redefine the trail head.
If you would like to get involved and lend a much needed hand, please contact Christine Hoyer at 828.497.1949 or email her at Christine_Hoyer@nps.gov.
