Work will consist of helping Squak Mountain State Park staff conduct routine maintenance of Phil's Creek Trail. To prepare for the fall rains, we'll be working on some culverts. We'll also clear the trails of debris, an ongoing effort after the fall 2024 bomb cyclone. Volunteers are to meet at the May Valley Loop trailhead. From there, we'll carpool up to Phil's Creek Trail via forest service road and walk the remainder of the way up to the trail. Please come prepared for a 1-mile, moderate-difficulty hike up to the work area.
