Hi Tim,

Thanks for volunteering Friday Saturday and Sunday on this work party. The Crew Leader will get back to you with more information and let you know if this is acceptable.

. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt & sturdy boots (Forest Service rules). Bring work gloves, water & camping gear. Rainwear is also a good idea. We'll supply tools and hard hats. The Crew Leader will get back to you before the work party with information about meeting place, meeting time, carpooling, etc..

Please note: Participants under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Please note: The Forest Service requires that volunteer participants read and understand the JHA (Job Hazard Analysis) (see attachment).

Please leave pets at home.

Where: Hike from William’s Mine Trailhead to the PCT at Riley Creek via the newly reopened 64A Trail and up Riley Creek Trail.

Wilderness: This is in the wilderness so the limit is 12 on the crew. We will observe “leave no trace” practices so be prepared to pack out all waste materials.

There is a 3-day minimum commitment required to be on this crew.

This is a PCTA pack-supported project. All meals will be provided from Wednesday dinner through Sunday lunch. Meals will be prepared by Karla Hawley, the camp manager.
All tools and equipment will be provided by the PCTA. They will be packed in, but the crew will pack them down the hill.

Crew members will bring their own sleeping gear, PPE, specialty food, and adult beverage if they wish.

Crew Leader – Bill Hawley
