Greetings;Saturday, July 9th will be a Project Workday for SWV. The current plan will be trail clearing on the Bell Meadows trail. There are approximately 5 trees outside of wilderness that are blocking the trail. Our plan is to meet at Summit Ranger Station at 8:30 am, gather tools, sign job hazard analysis forms as needed and head out to Bell Meadows trailhead. Please let the project coordinator know if you plan on attending by sending an email to lablinda0302. Thank you. Jeff Hawley President, SWV
