SUMMARY:Washington Trails Association - West Bay Woods Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis is a WTA event. To participate\, you must RSVP through the WTA. \nTake in views of Olympia’s West Bay while we work to create a sustainable trail in this tranquil neighborhood preserve. \nAbout the Area\nThe West Bay Woods is a remnant shoreline forest on the western shoreline of the Deschutes Estuary. The bluffs over West Bay Drive historically fed the beaches of the Deschutes Estuary. Today the forest is separated from the tidal waters by post-industrial fill. Though degraded\, logged in the early settlement period\, and farmed in places\, many glimpses remain of what the forest once was. \nWhat to Expect\nWe’ll have fun\, work hard and make a difference! No experience is necessary. \nProject Description\nWe will be focusing on making the current trail through the preserve more established and durable. The work will involve removing organic material\, backfilling with gravel\, improving drainage\, and building box steps in a few steep sections. \nHiking Information\nOur hike to the project site is expected to be less than 1 mile over flat or gently rolling terrain. \nSchedule\n\n8:30 AM: Be ready to sign in and meet the crew\, rain or shine\n8:35 AM: Gather for a safety briefing\, then hike to the project site\nMorning: Work at your own pace\, and take breaks throughout the day\n12:00 PM: Lunch on the trail\nAfternoon: Consider trying a new task before wrapping up the day’s work\n3:30 PM: Sign out after enjoying refreshments at the trailhead\n\nFor safety reasons\, arriving late or leaving early is not allowed. \nPlanning Information\nGet ready for a great day outside! \nWhat it Takes to Do This Work Party\n\nNo experience is necessary—just bring a great attitude for working with a team!
