It's another chance to dig in the dirt at the Pump Track. Perfect for Trail Corp kids who like to try out what they've just fixed! Wear clothes suitable for digging in the dirt, long pants, sturdy shoes and gloves.

We'll provide bevies, snacks, and fun for afterwards. See you on the track!

ORA Trails is looking for volunteers to mow, weed eat, clear brush and tidy up the trails in the Community Forest at Chad Erickson Park.  Rotary East will be hosting their regular work morning at the park and around the pond so there is no shortage of projects to work on.  Expect summer work conditions so remember bug spray, water, sunscreen, and work gloves.  Chainsaw operators need to have completed certification training, and this is a great opportunity to practice your skills for newly certified folks.
