Volunteer Trail Day - Sanders Hill Trail

Join us in an afternoon of maintenance on the Sanders Hill trail in Rome. Generally, this trail is in good shape, but has some wooden bridging that is beginning to be unsafe and needs to be replaces. We will take apart the old bridging, haul in new wood, and construct the new bog bridges. If time allows, we will also do another routine maintenance tasks on the trail.
