Friends of NCCT - Upcoming Volunteer Opportunity!

Trail Building Workday at the Big Cain Creek Preserve, Town of Texas, Marathon County:

• Thursday, June 11, 9am-3pm - footbridge & kiosk construction

Help NCCT with the next phase of the trail building project at the Big Cain Creek Preserve! These workdays will focus on building the tread of the trail by clearing vegetation and brush with hand tools, and constructing footbridges and a sign kiosk. NCCT will provide tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection as needed. No prior experience necessary, though light construction experience would be helpful! All are welcome.

Please note that these workdays will be weather dependent, so we ask for your RSVP so we can easily communicate day-of changes to the plan.

This property has some technical, rocky footing/terrain, and steep slopes. The only bathroom available on site is nature’s bathroom. Please plan accordingly.
