Hello SWV Volunteers and Interested Parties:
SWV will be managing a multi-day project on June 23-26 on the Highway 4 side of the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness with the staging area at Highland Lakes campground. We welcome any volunteers for either a single day or for multiple days. The primary work will be trail clearing both outside and inside the wilderness boundary. We will be joined by the US Forest Service staff for part or even all of the event.
What: Trail clearing consisting of removing down trees and debris from the campground and four trails leading out of the campground. This will involve both chainsaw and crosscut saw use. We will have certified sawyers managing that aspect of the project.
When: June 23 (mostly travel, some work) to June 26 (some work, travel home).
Where: Highland Lakes Campground. We’re meeting at the Ranger station in Hathaway Pines at 10 am on Sunday and then regrouping at the campground at Highland Lakes.
Logistics: Please come self-contained. Depending on how many folks sign up, we will contact the camp host to reserve some sites for us. Last year there was no running water but toilets. Bring your own water and filters. Expect bugs.
If you have questions, call, text or email the project lead, Sherri Elliott this week. 916-743-8616.
We welcome any member who wants to come out for the day or a night. We generally start around 8 each day so if you want to come out for the day, meet us by 8 at the campground.
