--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workdays are sometimes new trail construction and sometimes maintenance of existing trail. Work may include using a rake and mattox (similar to a pickaxe) to dig new trail and remove small roots, brush clearing, moving logs, and picking up debris.

FMST will supply most of the tools for workdays, but extra loppers and mattox are welcome.

Please wear work clothes and a bag lunch, plenty of water, work gloves, hiking boots, and sunscreen. Sorry no dogs allowed at our workdays for safety reasons. If you are under the age of 18, please consult us before attending workdays.
