CAMBA Trail Work - Nordic Centre long loop signup sheet

Deactivated

This signup sheet is not accepting new volunteers.
Please contact the event coordinator for further details.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering with CAMBA! For these sessions, we're partnering with Friends of Kananaskis to work on building the new long loop trail at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Please note that a 4km bike ride on gravel/dirt road is required to access the work area (you'll bike to the work area with the rest of the group after meeting).

The sessions are for three hours in the evening, or six hours on the weekend. Volunteer sign-up closes at 12pm the day before the event.

Equipment required:
- personal work gloves
- protective eye wear (sunglasses are OK, but clear glasses are better for evening sessions)
- sturdy shoes
- long pants (suggested if working in an area with brush)
- bear spray
- bug spray (highly recommended)

The new Long Loop/Iliad trail build at the Canmore Nordic Centre will be located between the Rundle and Meadowview ski trails and is designed to be challenging and fun with lots of elevation changes. It will be constructed predominately to blue square difficulty with numerous black diamond sections that will have ride-around options built in.

As a new trail build, the level of effort will range from medium to difficult and include hand tool work such as brushing vegetation to clear the trail corridor, digging a new trail, removing duff and earth with picks and pulaskis, and shoveling/raking out rutting.

You'll receive an email from the Friends of Kananaskis volunteer coordinator with the meeting point, waiver information and other details the day before the session, but if you have any questions before then, feel free to email volunteer@camba.ca
