PTAG NEWS! 6-22-10 We dig FRICK!
Maurice Tierney
July 10, 2010 – 10 AM. Meet in the lower parking lot – near the
soccer field. The main goal for this day is to remove the spring
growth from the trails. We will also tackle a couple of drainage
problems. Food and beverages will be provided by PTAG. Tools will be
provided, but as always, if anyone has some extra hedge clippers or
loppers, please bring them. Mcleods, Pulaski’s, or Metal leaf rakes
would be helpful too. We recommend wearing sturdy boots, gloves, long
sleeve pants and shirts. Also, please carry a water bottle – it will
be hot.
After the work – rides and hikes in the park followed by donated
(FREE!!!!) liquid refreshment at a close by location to be determined.
Sponsors: Pittsburgh Trail Advocacy Group and REI.
