CTA Volunteer Work Weekends, Summer 2012
CTA will again host 3 volunteer work weekends this summer to help complete trail relocation projects. Recruit your friends or bring your family to enjoy a weekend in the Vermont woods. Join us for a day or for the whole weekend. On Saturday and Sunday we will work on the trail. Saturday evening, we will share a group camping area and a meal around the campfire. For those who prefer more luxurious accommodations, we are happy to provide lodging suggestions. We are still in the planning stages for 2012, but here are some preliminary dates and rough locations.

Bridge Building with the Experts, Summer 2012 (midweek)
CTA will be working with Timber and Stone, LLC to build two bridges this summer. Timber and Stone will provide leadership and bring a few skilled staff members to each project. CTA will provide 4 additional volunteers for each project. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about bridge construction by working side by side with the experts. Volunteers should be prepared to work hard and to learn some useful new skills. Sign up early, as space is very limited.

NEW DATE (previously 8/15-8/16)
August 19&20: Section 12 Sargent Brook Bridge Reconstruction (Shrewsbury)
Cost: There is no fee to participate. Participants are responsible for their own meals and lodging.
