SUMMARY:Trail Work Day at West Hill Dam
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 28th annual trail work day. This partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) started in 1993 when this area was going to be closed off to horseback riding. The dam and flood control is their main responsibility. Back in the early 1990’s\, recreation was pretty informal–do as you please for the past 30 years. With attendance increasing in the recreation area (beach) and more people on the trails\, problems were arising.. \nTheir rules and regulations under  327.11 Control of Animals Section C states “No person shall bring or allow horses\, cattle\, or other livestock in camping\, picnicking\, swimming or other recreation areas except areas designated by the District Engineer.” \nWe worked with ACE to establish a bridle path system (that is open to other trail users as well) with a commitment to have a yearly work day to keep the trails maintained. \nIf we\, as trail users\, respect their mandate and stay on the trails\, then ACE doesn’t have to expend resources to repair situations created by users going off the trail\, especially on the dam. \nRAIN DATE April 18th. \nWhere: West Hill Dam Headquarters\, 518 East Hartford Avenue\, Uxbridge MA \nTime: 8:30 check in  9:00 trail work starts. \nCovid -19 Protocol: Stay home if  you are sick. Maintain physical distance of at least 6 feet for those not in your “family” group. Wash/sanitize your hands. Masks required when you are at the table to register/get your lunch/ or any time you are closer than six feet from someone else. \nWear appropriate clothing for working in the woods\, including sturdy shoes and wear gloves. Viola has a good stock of shovels\, rakes\, and long handled loppers. \nWork will consist of cleaning up any winter debris\, cutting and brushing back as needed and cleaning out all the water bars that have been installed over the years. \nLunch provided by BSTRA for the volunteers. \nContact: Becky at 508-476-3960 or bstra@charter.net so we can have a head count and plan accordingly. \nIf you can join us on this work day please fill out the contact form below
