Description

A large bubble of thru hikers is passing through our area as they walk the ~2,200 miles from Georgia to Maine. We will travel on restricted Forest Service roads to access the VA/WVA border on the ridge line of Peter's Mountain. We will then hike 1 mile to begin clearing encroaching vegetation with motorized brush cutters, handsaws and loppers. No experience is necessary as training, PPE and tools are provided. A carpool location will be decided after registrations are completed


What You Should Bring

Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt and sturdy footwear. Bring sunscreen and bug spray if you want. Prepare for possible cooler mountain temperatures. Bring safety glasses if you have any, your favorite work gloves, lunch, and two liters of water
