Trout Creek Ranch Work Party-SPRING
We need 4-6 folks to help around the ranch this spring! Fence clearing is a priority, but other maintenance work could be included. Trout Creek Ranch came with many structures that are being removed, remodeled or replaced and pulling barbed-wire fence can help with our restoration plans. Join us in some work and enjoy some time outdoors! Overnight stays are recommended and we have accommodations for sleeping indoors, outdoors, or vehicle camping, along with access to bathrooms/showers (see registration form for details).
We’ll provide some snacks and beverages, but please bring your preferred food, water, and appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain (waterproof shoes or clothing that can get wet may be helpful). There will be bathroom access at the beginning and end of the activities, along with access to fridges/freezers and stovetops.
WHEN:
June 21-23 with overnight stay on Friday and departures on Sunday.
June 21: arrival between noon and 5 pm
Sept 22: work party!
Sept 23: departure
