Planned Activities
We will be clearing brush, spreading mulch and surface materials on walking trails, restoring historic tree lines, and fixing the split rail fence along Bristoe Road.
Should I bring any tools or supplies?
If you have tools, bring them! Sturdy work gloves are highly recommended. Closed toes shoes, preferably something like a hiking boot are required. Hedge trimmers or "loppers" are particularly helpful as we have a limited supply. Rakes, shovels are great for the trail work we will be doing.
Is there a rain date?
In the instance of inclement weather, Park Day will be cancelled.
Please note
Parking is located in the parking lot located off the roundabout on Iron Brigade Unit Avenue in New Bristow Village. This lot fills quickly. If full, additional street parking can be found along Iron Brigade Unit Avenue.
