This is a great chance to help – here’s more from Steve & the Trails Committee:

San Juan Historical Museum Path Project—-Volunteers Needed!

This is more of a landscaping project than a trail but it is a community effort to improve the Historical Museum grounds for all-season visitor use and enjoyment.  Doug McCutcheon and I are co-leaders working with Director Kevin Loftus and two high school students to design, excavate and then install pavers for a total of 355 feet (36 inches wide) of path connecting several key historic structures.

The first work party will be on Sat., April 14 at 10 am.  We plan to be excavating a shallow and wide trench with a machine but will need shovel and hand work to clean the edges and transport and spread gravel.  We will transport most of the gravel by machine. It is light-medium  construction work only requiring gloves, boots, shovels, wheelbarrows and garden rakes.  Some trenches and narrow lateral “french drains” will be hand dug.  Ground has shallow, rocky soil.  We are looking for 10-12 volunteers for few hours with lots of breaks as needed.  Bring water, a snack or two and gloves as well as any of the above equipment you may have to add to the mix.

We will also be working at the same time for each of the following Saturdays in April to install drain gravel, install crushed gravel and some perforated pipe  and after leveling and tamping will install 2″x7″x9″ reclaimed pavers.

This is a great community improvement project with wide support.
