This year's Knee Knacker Trail Work Party will involve a project on the Baden Powell Trail in the Mosquito Creek area at the top of Prospect Road in North Vancouver.  This stretch of trail has some steep sections that are worn down and rough areas that need our attention.  We'll be working under the guidance of North Vancouver District Trail and Habitat Coordinator Graham Knell.

 

Trail Day is Saturday, May 31st. 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, May 28th.  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. Go to the very top of Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver.
2. Turn left on W. Rockland Road.
3. Take the next right on to Prospect Road.  You will eventually go past Beaver Road on your left
4. Continue but right after Beaver Road go left on Prospect Road (Rondoval Crescent would be a right turn)
5. Drive or walk to the end of Prospect Road to meet the group.
6. Park where you can with respect to the neighbours please.

Meeting Place

Walk up Prospect Road to the gate.  If you arrive late, continue up the trail to the water tanks.  Graham will meet every one there with the materials and tools.

What to Bring

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

Hope to see you there!
