Hi, every­one!

This year’s Knee Knacker Trail Work Party on Sat­ur­day, June 5 will take place on the Baden Powell trail near Hyan­nis Drive in the Blueridge area (see map below). We’ll be work­ing under the guid­ance of Graham Knell, North Van­cou­ver Dis­trict Trail and Habi­tat Coor­di­na­tor. You don’t need any spe­cial skills to help on Trail Day, just a will­ing­ness to improve the trails that we all enjoy!

Meet­ing Place and Time

• We’ll meet near the BP trail at Hyan­nis Drive and Berkley Avenue in North Van­cou­ver. (From Mt. Sey­mour Park­way, turn north onto Berkley Road. Con­tinue to the end of the road and turn left at Hyan­nis Drive. See also the map below.)
• Arrive between 8:30am-9am to sign in, get a brief ori­en­ta­tion, and enjoy some muffins and coffee cour­tesy of spon­sor Delany’s Coffee House.
• If you arrive late and we’re already gone, follow the pink flag­ging tape that will direct you to the worksite.

Things to Bring/What to Wear

• Wear clothes that you don’t mind get­ting (poten­tially) mucky!
• Work gloves and tools will be pro­vided by the Dis­trict, although you’re wel­come to bring your own.
• Water and a light lunch/ snacks are a good idea to keep you going.

RSVP

Please RSVP via the <feed­back form/contact trail day co-ordinator email> by noon, Friday, June 4.  Although you’re very wel­come to come and help at the last minute, a RSVP will help me plan the good­ies and orga­nize the amount of work we can do on the trail.

Spe­cial Note to Chain­saw Operators

Do you have a chain­saw? If so, let me know as we could use your help. (Graham said it would be useful to have one chain­saw oper­a­tor onsite.) For safety and lia­bil­ity rea­sons, you must have wear proper safety gear (face shield, etc).

Hope to see you there, and thank you for volunteering!
