Itinerary:

When: Sunday, May 17th

Where: Main Trail between 4th and 5th Lines (see Google map below)

Why: A new main trail section on the Bruce Trail requires clearing before use.

The Mission: Our goal is to complete the work started a few years ago to move the Main Trail off the fields between 4th and 5th Lines – we are clearing trail along the fence line parallel to the hydro lines, up to the stile at the junction with the Brown Benton Side Trail.

Crew duties: Using loppers and bow saws, clear the new trail section. Blazing (white trail markers) will depend on the weather conditions.

Timings: We will meet at 10 AM on 4th Line where the Main Trail crosses 4th Line. Finish time around 2-3 PM

After Event-Event: Those wishing to grab dinner before returning to city are invited to come along to Angel's Diner in Georgetown with other like minded TOCers.
