This includes clearing branches, brush and any other obstructions you might encounter along the way. The day begins at 8:30 am in the Selkirk Parking Lot. Bring your own lunch, plenty of water, dress in layers and get to work! These volunteer days are critical to the trail and grooming quality in Mt.
