    Time to tear out the old and call this project complete! We're heading to Balancing Rock Trail on Sunday, October 4 to remove the old boardwalk and pile it up for a fall burn.

    πŸ“ Meet: Balancing Rock Trailhead at 9:00 am
    πŸš— Access: Via the hydro road off the road to the CVWMA office

    We'd love a couple of side-by-sides or a 4x4 with good off-road tires to help move volunteers and gear up the trail β€” it'll save everyone a lot of time and energy. If that's you, please let us know!

    The work:

    • Removing staples from the grating so it can be salvaged for future use

    • Cutting the boardwalk into manageable sections for moving to the burn site

    • Piling everything up for a fall burn

    • Note: we do not need to remove any logs used as stringers

    What to bring:

    • Heavy work gloves β€” essential

    • Water and a packed lunch

    • Rubber boots recommended β€” marshy ground underfoot

    • Chainsaw operators: ear, eye, and leg protection required

    Tools needed:

    • Power saws β€” don't worry, we'll replace any chains damaged by nails or screws

    • Staple removal tools and pry bars

    No experience needed β€” just show up ready to work. Many hands make light work and we always have a great time doing it.
