SMC Trail Work Volunteer Day
**TRAIL WORK** this month we will again work on improving the Lenape crossing of Beech Brook Cascades by creating a detour away from the rickety bridges (which we plan to eventually replace). We will meet at the Dog Park and head down to the Lenape trail from there. Moderate rain or snow cancels.

Trail work is physically challenging but very satisfying as we use hand tools to build and repair trails. Participants must be 15+ years. Those younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants should wear long pants due to [ticks](https://www.somocon.org/?page_id=193928&fb) and sturdy shoes, and bring gloves (though backup gloves will be available). Tools, water, and a snack will be provided. (Registration is not required though if you sign up on Meetup, it helps us know how many tools to bring and you don't have to sign our liability waiver.)
