In celebration of National Trails Day, Saturday, June 1st, EMTI is looking for volunteer help for both days of that weekend. We have a number of good projects that require assistance, as follows: Saturday, June 1st Mallory Brook Trail, Johnson Road: Plantings along sections of reconstructed trail. This trail has undergone an amazing transformation since rains in 2011 severely eroded several drainage crossings. *Greg Western of Cross Vermont Trail Association has spearheaded this effort. Come check out the work and help spruce up the trail even further. Tools- Hand Trowels, Shovels Hanging of trail markers along the trail. Tools- Hammer, Small step stool/ladder. *Greg Western will be coordinating other work days to complete repair work on the Mallory Brook Trail. He can be reached directly at 802-655-6501. Sparrow Farm Trail, Sparrow Farm Rd: Clearing debris, dirt/moss buildup on bridges along trail, possible weedwhacking. Tools- Anything useful for cleaning wood bridge deck or between boards. Weedwhacker or hand tools for clearing brush. Sunday, June 2nd County Road-Town Forest Trail: Repair of bridge built last year on National Trails Day. Some vandalism occurred that impacted bridge. We will be pulling off 1 X 6 boards and replacing with 2 X 6's. Tools: Hammers, Hand Saws, Crowbars for Demo, Tape Measures We would love to get a number of volunteers to help accomplish all of these projects.

Trail builder extraordinaire Greg Western worked through the fall of 2012 to repair rock stair stream crossings damaged damaged during the flood of May 2011, and make them resilient for any future flooding, as well as to improve other troubling wet spots. He will begin the final phase of repairing the stream gullies in June of this year. Please stop by and check out his amazing stone and wood handwork while you enjoy a walk on this unique trail, or sign up for a volunteer work day. And of course, your generous donation will be greatly appreciated. We still have $2000 left to raise! If you've ever been grateful to have these fine and varied trails right in our community, this is a great chance to join the effort. In addition, volunteers are welcome to help on the trail. Send your email address to Dave at dhwebb67@comcast.net and we will let you know when we have work dates. Greg Western is a trail genius and you will learn a lot.
