The Cardigan Highlanders Volunteer Trail Crew (CHVTC) will be on Mount Sunapee this weekend and welcomes help with the trail work at hand.
On Saturday, October 6, the trail crew will meet at Mount Sunapee State Park, ride the chairlift to the top of the mountain, and then descend the Summit Trail to work on drainage dips.
“We hope and expect to stop when we reach the fixtures we built in our earlier five days of work there this season, then hike downhill to our cars and refreshments,” said crew leader Craig Sanborn.
The Summit Trail is a popular public hiking trail on Mount Sunapee. This job is necessary for the health of the trail, explained Sanborn. Other trail work will continue on Sunday or Monday on the Newbury Trail.
On Friday, the trail crew will be on Mount Kearsarge, the Rollins Trail.
The gear needed: leather boots, long pants, and BYO work gloves or gloves will be provided. Food, water, and supplies for all day in the forecasted weather, dry and 50s.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Craig Sanborn, email: crgsnbrn@yahoo.com.
