This year's Knee Knacker Trail Work Party will take place once again on the Baden Powell Trail in the area just below the Seymour Grind.  This is a long stretch of trail near Hyannis Drive that rises 300m over 1km. There is much work to be done here with all the fallen trees and water damage over the winter season and several groups will be involved over the coming months.  We'll be working under the guidance of North Vancouver District Trail and Habitat Coordinator Graham Knell.

 

Trail Day is Saturday, June 9. We'll be ready to go at about 9:00 a.m. but please come early. Many volunteers makes for light work so we hope you -- and friends and family--can come out to help for a few hours.  There will be coffee and treats from Delany's Coffee.  No special skills required, although if you have a chainsaw, we'd really love to have you.

 

RSVP by Wednesday, June 6.  Although you can come and help at the last minute, an early reply will help us plan for the goodies and organize the amount of work we can do on the trail.

Directions for parking:

1. Take Mt. Seymour Parkway to Berkley Drive,
2. Turn left on Berkley Drive. 
3. Turn right on Hyannis. 
4. Turn left on Hill Drive. 
5. Go up Hill Drive and turn left on Blairview Avenue.
6. Park anywhere around there.

Walk up the gravel road to the water tanks. Graham will meet every one there with the materials and tools. 

Bring chainsaws, gloves, hammers, shovels, and picks if you wish but Graham will have tools for us to use as well.  Most importantly bring your muscles and smiles ;-)

 

Hope to see you there!
