Volunteer Day: CCC Bridge Trail Work

Volunteer Day: CCC Bridge Trail Work -Join DeSoto State Park staff for the CCC ‘Unfinished Bridge’ Trail Work Day, to work together to honor the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and embrace our servant hearts through community service.  Our long-term goal is to maintain the area by selectively removing smaller trees so that the bridge can be easily accessed and admired by generations to come. Loppers will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, but please bring your own gloves if you wish. Additionally, remember to pack bug spray, plenty of water/ sports drinks to stay hydrated, snacks/lunch, and wear appropriate footwear for the terrain. (moderate, uneven terrain) Meet at DeSoto State Park’s Lodge-Parking lot; Fort Payne, Alabama. Caravan to location. Pre-registration is appreciated so we know how many to expect.

WEATHER: Please be sure to dress appropriately according to seasonal temperatures/weather. As with all outdoor events, if it is stormy or very poor trail conditions, we may have to cancel. If the weather is questionable, please call the park before you leave home to check if the workday is still on (256.845.0051). If cancelled, we will plan on another day.
