Join 7 Lakes Alliance for a day of trail maintenance on our scenic Hoyt Island Preserve.
Participants will enjoy a boat ride across Great Pond on the 7 Lakes Education Boat, then commence work on Hoyt Island, clearing a walking path on the western side of the property. Tasks will include cutting brush, clearing blowdown, and smoothing trail surface. Please note that this workday involves a boat ride to and from the worksite, so participants will be required to stay for the duration of the event.
