Join us for a work party
This month, we are focusing on the Centennial Trail, in the area of McGillivray Falls.
Location: McGillivray Falls Trailhead, Whiteshell Provincial Park
Plan: Get ready for 6 hours of deadfall clearing and trimming. We’ll be packing the trails and ensuring the corridor is clear for safe winter passage.
When: We'll kick off our day by meeting at the McGillivray Falls Parking Lot at 9:00 am https://maps.app.goo.gl/vnhoA8dfvWAGRLFN8 (Pit toilet available on site). Carpool meet up in Winnipeg TBD - reach out if interested.
Why should you join us?
Get some exercise: Trail stomping is a great way to get your heart pumping.
Help out your fellow trail users: By packing down the trails, you'll make it easier for others to enjoy them.
Have fun: It's a great way to meet new people and spend the morning outdoors.
What to bring:
Warm sturdy boots
Warm clothing
Snacks and drinks
Snowshoes (if you don’t have any, we have a limited number of pairs we can lend out, let us know on the form if you need to borrow)
Dry clothes to change into after our snowshoe
Plan: Trail work could include things like clearing dead-fall, trash clean up, trimming around trail signage, etc.
