Trail Days - Volunteer
for the day for a Free Annual Membership!
This year Volunteer Trail Days will be by appointment.
Work days are planned for Sunday, November 6th and Sunday, November 13th. There may also be some midweek opportunities. To sign up, please email Cort Hansen or call him during business hours at 603-356-3042. While we did receive some unexpected damage resulting from Tropical
Storm Irene, most of the trails are in pretty good shape. There is some
debris that washed up along the river that will need to be removed. In
some places we found evidence of 6-8' of water over the trail from the
storm. Our main focus at this time are the repairs needed to the bridge
by the 1785 Inn. Cort has requested that anyone interested in volunteering work time in exchange for a season pass contact him directly so that he can discuss what needs to be done
and what equipment may be needed.
We thank everyone interested in helping with seasonal preparations.
