We are trying to organize a large work party at FATS for Saturday, June 24th. This will be the Sherri West Memorial Work Party. Sherri was a member of SORBAcsra and a regular volunteer at work parties. FATS was one of her favorite places to ride and work. More details to come in the coming weeks.
The trail is quite overgrown in areas and getting worse rapidly so please help spread the word (to all trail users).
The scale and scope of this work party will depend on the number of volunteers who sign up and show up to work.
We have 32 miles of trail to cover at FATS and a lot of work to be done between the mowing, hedging and lopping. If we mobilize all equipment we'll need 18 people right up front. If past work parties are a gauge we need between 30 and 40 people to hit the trails to make a real impact.
Please pass the word along about this work party. In the past, we have been lucky to also pick up some members of the running community when we have big work parties so hopefully some of them can volunteer as well. If we don't get enough people to sign up we will probably redirect our efforts to some of our outlying trails that need work since those can be done with smaller groups of volunteers and try to reschedule FATS for later in the summer.
If you know you can commit and want to go ahead and sign-up now, please email me at SORBAcsra
Last year we had some crew leaders who led targeted work parties on a couple of the loops in advance of the big work party. That worked out extremely well and freed up tools and equipment for the big day. If any of our crew leaders are game, please let me know.
