Despite involving the word “work,” a workday can actually be pretty fun; it is very gratifying to see how much progress can be made in just a few hours with a group of volunteers. Volunteers use hand tools to remove smaller obstacles along the river trail. We leave the large logjams for our professional chainsaw crew. We also pick up trash as we go and leave the river cleaner than we found it.
