    Join NCCT for a trail building workday at the Mumford Preserve in Marathon County! During this workday we will clear vegetation from the corridor of a new trail using hand tools, chainsaws, and brush cutters, and remove an old deer stand from a tree. NCCT will provide tools, work gloves, safety glasses, and ear plugs as needed.

    We are looking for volunteers to bring brush cutters and chainsaws for this workday. If you have a brush cutter or chainsaw, please let us know. 

    No prior experience necessary, all are welcome!

    MEET/PARK: Meet at the Mumford Preserve parking area, located at the end of a gravel access drive at 180572 Hwy 52, Aniwa. Refer to directions below. Be aware that some GPS programs will direct you further north up County Hwy Y – this way is incorrect. Click here for Google Maps.

    SAFETY NOTES: 

    • We will be working in wooded conditions and with loud tools. Wear long sleeves and pants, work gloves, safety glasses, and ear protection.
    •  Volunteers operating chainsaws and/or brush cutters will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including: chaps, a helmet, eye protection, ear protection, and work gloves. 

    DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 52, turn north onto the gravel access road at 180572 Hwy 52, Aniwa, WI 54408. Look for the green “Mumford Preserve” sign. Follow the access drive north past the yellow signs for about 0.5 miles. You will pass an old equipment dump along the way. Proceed into the parking area. Click here for Google Maps.
