Trail tread levelling in some areas and switchback work, staining and repair to the viewpoint benches, steps upgrades, old trail brushing/grubbing, and sign re-placement.

BC Trails Event day this Sunday regular work parties start June 5

 KORTS is hosting a BC Trails Event day this Sunday which is replacing our regular Monday work party for May 29. Therefore, our next regular work party day will be Monday June 5 9am to noon. 

We will be heading up the Wardner Viewpoint trail to work on levelling several out-sloping sections of the trail tread, upgrade some eroded switchbacks, repair the small viewpoint bench and then stain the 2 benches. If time permits, or possibly the following week, we will continue above the viewpoint onto the connector to No Brakes, levelling the steps and out-sloping trail tread, brushing and upgrading an overgrown section of the connector trail, and re-installing a directional sign that fell over this winter.

I will be sending out a reminder closer to June 5 about meeting location, tools etc.

KORTS work party Saturday May 13 @ 9am and work party schedule changes

 Hi Everyone

Just a reminder that Tom has organized a KORTS work party for this Saturday May 13 at 9am to renovate the new KORTS Shed (see email sent May 8). This replaces our regular Monday one for May 15. Also, the following weekend is May Days so we won’t be having a regular work party on Holiday Monday May 22.

Meet at the KORTS Shed near the Unity Bridge south trailhead.

Happy Trails
