Wesserunsett Stream Preserve: Trail Building 101
Wednesday, July 2nd
4PM to 7PM

REGISTER HERE: https://www.somersetwoodstrustees.org/events

Join us for an introduction to trail building at Wesserunsett Stream Preserve! Rachel Cheatham-McFadden will be leading a trail-building how-to that will include leveling and widening tread, removing stumps, eliminating brush, and side-hill digging. Participants will work on the preserve’s yellow trail, which needs a partial relocation due to steep grades and habitat protection.

This event is best suited for adults. Participants should expect physical labor with fun, but challenging work.

Tools and personal protective equipment (such as work gloves and eye-protection) will be provided by Somerset Woods Trustees, although participants are encouraged to bring their own if they have them. All participants should expect to sign a waiver upon arrival.

To participate, sign up for this free event, RSVP directly on the Somerset Woods Trustees Events page. We ask that all participants RSVP.

Directions: From the downtown Skowhegan areas, follow Route 2 to Malbons Mills Road. Take a left onto Malbons Mills, heading northeast. After about a mile, take a right into the neighborhood on Robin Street. Robin Street will turn into Robin Court shortly after the turn; stay on Robin Court. You will then take a right onto Evergreen Drive. Continue down Evergreen Drive until the pavement ends and you see a blue and green "Somerset Woods Trustees" diamond sign. Continue straight to the end of the road. Park alongside the road.
