February 18th, 2010 - Angel's Rest Walk, Rock, and Roll PDF Print E-mail

The Trailkeepers of Oregon "Walk, Rock, and Roll" series

When: Thursday February 18th, 2010
Where: Angel's Rest Trail

What: The hard work is mainly done for you as we assemble
pre-transported pieces of stone into a structure you can HIKE on!
Learn what a check dam is for and how it helps protect your
favorite trails from further erosion.

Why: "All human creations eventually melt back into the landscape,
but the most enduring reminders of earlier generations are built of rock"
(Robert Birkby, Lightly on the Land).

Doctor Dana says "Rock structures are very effective erosion repair,
and building with rock is like assembling a creative puzzle."

How: For additional information and to RSVP please contact
volunteer coordinator - joseph.ammons@trailkeepersoforegon.org.

See you on the trails, or on the web at http://www.trailkeepersoforegon.org
