The extraordinary increase in activity has put a strain on trails. The series helps educate citizens about safe and responsible trail use and teaches basic trail building skills. The Spring 2000 Trail Workshops will be held on March 25 at Tuckahoe State Park in Caroline County and on April 1 at Elk Neck State Park in Cecil County. The workshops are hands-on and involve techniques in blazing, maintenance, erosion control and pruning, in addition to safety demonstrations on proper tool use. No experience is necessary.
Children are welcome to participate, if accompanied by an adult.
Rain or shine, all workshops begin at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 3 p.m. Participants should bring gloves, a brown bag lunch, plenty of water and appropriate dress for the weather. Tuckahoe State Park participants will meet at the campground pavilion. Follow Route 50 East across the Bay Bridge to MD 404 East. From MD 404 continue to MD 480 East.
