– Every trail day will begin with a safety talk and overview of the work planned for the day
– Everyone will meet at the designated meeting spot and walk to the trail together, led by the trail builder(s)

What to Wear:

– Comfortable clothes that are appropriate for the weather and you don’t mind getting covered in dirt.
– Layers appropriate for the weather (jackets, extra gloves, hat/toque)
– Supportive, close-toed shoes

What to Bring:

– Work gloves – either gardening gloves or mountain bike gloves that can handle a bit of extra ware
