We had twenty volunteers participate in our first work party of the new build year, Saturday, Sept 9.
We worked on Hill Creek Trail, excavating soil from a “borrow pit” to spread on the trail. This is how we create a level, sustainable trail surface. (We use borrow pits to access gravel and mineral soil when it’s logistically too difficult to bring in gravel from elsewhere – more on that in a later post.)
We have extended Hill Creek Trail beyond the “Big Rock” – it is now 1.2 miles long and turning the curve to head back to the meadow. When complete, the trail will be a loop just over 2 miles long.
Thank you to volunteers from HKP Architects and Sedro Woolley High School Earth Club for joining us on this fun day!
