Description

There are a couple dozen trees fallen across the path in the southern section of the Appalachian Trail that OCVT is responsible for. The Helvey's Mill section is roughly 8 miles across and is an hour away, so we'll be spending most of Saturday's daylight hours on this trip. No experience with a saw is required, but please wear weather appropriate clothes that may get dirty as well as sturdy shoes. Tools, personal protective equipment, and carpooling will be provided.


Location

Appalachian Trail from VA 612 to VA 611, or as much as we can cover.


Driving Directions

Will send to drivers.


What You Should Bring

Bring water, lunch, and snacks as well as clothing appropriate for the weather. Sturdy shoes are required and bringing your own PPE is fine.
