ASR Trail Care

Team,
We had a great work day on the Buttermilk Trail on Saturday, October 10th. 
Alot of work was done by a few bodies.

Here are a few photos of our completed work.

 

Team,

Our first Team Trail Day for the 2009/2010 season will be next Saturday, October 10^th.

We will be joining Nathan Burrell, Trail Manager for City of Richmond Parks and Recreation, for maintenance within the James River Park.

We will be working to decrease the grade of the trail, at the juncture of Buttermilk and Boulevard Bridge, by backfilling the tread and adding stone pitching to harden and give traction for hikers and bikers.

Work Location: Buttermilk Trail at juncture of Boulevard Bridge

Meeting Location: Reedy Creek Visitors Center

Meeting Time: 9:00 a.m.

Meeting Date: Saturday, October 10th

For those who cannot meet at 9:00 a.m. you can join us at the work site.

Remember…….bring gloves, wear sturdy shoes/boots, wear layers, bring hydration and a snack.

If anyone needs directions just email me back and I will provide.

In the case of inclement weather, I will send out an email early Saturday morning.

I will also post this information on the ASR website on the Trail Maintenance forum and blog.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

Team,

Below are dates that Richmond ASR will be working. These are the team days that are worth double hours which is how we are keeping count.

Even if the points don’t mean anything to you, please consider that they matter to the team in regards to sponsorship and 501C3 status.

It is through these hours that we report our impact on the local community.  In fact, trail hours actually are measured at $10/hour for non-educated (those folks who haven’t been to any trail classes) and $17/hour for educated or certified individuals.

But also – these are YOUR trails – if you don’t take care of these trails, they WILL NOT LAST. So please, keep these dates on your schedule and come out and support your team and your trails.

We are working with all the local land managers to line up projects/work sites and will impart that info to you as the dates near.

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you not only riding the trails but also maintaining the trails!
