Our third ‘walk ’n work party’ of the year, open to all interested in helping but not so interested in the noise and equipment used on many of our work parties.

Continued blaze posting and hopefully the completion of the Blue Rectangle and (if we’re lucky and have a big turn-out) begin on the Green RectangleTrails See the 4th of March for details of what to bring along.

Reports of lots of new graffiti on the cliff faces just north of the kiosk inspired this work party. We plan to use a mix removal technique but expect the artful application of camouflage paint to painted rocks to be how we’ll deal with most of this mess.
