The Calgary ATV Riders is hosting their Annual Stewardship Days on June 4th and 5th in the Ghost PLUZ. Here are the details. Please let us know if you would like to attend.
The Calgary ATV Riders Association is requesting your support as a volunteer to help with trail work during our annual stewardship days June 4 & 5, 2016.
Join us in the back country for two full days of volunteering. Help maintain the trails you ride! Volunteer for 1 or 2 days
Orientation will start each morning at 8:30 am he Waiparous Creek Group Campground. All volunteers are required to attend the orientation.
During this year’s stewardship event the club will be once again working with Environment and Parks (formerly SRD) towards creating a long term solution to never ending issue of “keeping the wheels out of the water”. The club will be working on one and possibly two trail reroutes which will enable the placement of permanent bridge crossings to help maintain the trail system for generations.
Anyone can partake in the stewardship days. Tasks are of varying degree of difficulty. From planting and cutting willows, bridge repairs, trail widening and narrowing to heavy machine reroutes. Anyone can volunteer their time.
The club will require a couple of volunteers to help cook and serve for all the hungry volunteers at the end of the day Saturday as well. (please let me know if you are willing to help in this capacity).
The BBQ will be on Saturday evening for all volunteers compliments of the Calgary ATV Riders Association.
Projects will include but not limited to the following:
·Wing Wall repair near South Ghost staging area (2-5 ppl)
·Trail turns widening for SXS”s if needed at the South staging area (2-5 ppl)
·Narrowing of single track/dirt bike trail that connects marker 87 to 85 (3-5 ppl)
·Heavy machine reroute north of marker 93 (2-5 ppl)
·Heavy machine reroute west of Waiparous Creek Campground to marker 87 (2-5 ppl)
·General willow cutting (any number of ppl)
·Willow staking at bridge just north of marker 77 (5-7 ppl)
·Willow staking at bridge over Lost Knife Creek and bridge repair (5-10 ppl)
·Willow staking at trail maintenance at large meadow south of marker 89 (10-20 ppl)
·Placement of Quad Matting throughout the Southern end of the Ghost. (8-12 ppl)
· If you know of a trail that requires repair due to it being unsafe please email me so we can ensure it is repaired during this volunteer weekend.
The club has 45 sections of quad matting that have been donated by the Eastern Slopes ATV Society to use for trail hardening and we hope to use it all. We are looking for volunteers to help with these projects as well as heavy equipment operators willing to donate their time and equipment to help us get as much work done as possible in the two short days we have. All permits have been secured to allow the work to be commenced.
We hope you will be able to attend and make our riding area more sustainable and safe for all riders.
Please let me know if you would like to attend.
