On Sunday 9th July, Springwater Trails will be cleaning up the Wheaton Hill Trails.There are two loops on each side of the road. We will split into four groups, with each group taking one of the loops.  We will hike the loop, clearing any branches on the trail, clipping anything that is interfering with with hiking the trail, and we will take notes concerning larger items that need to be done on the trail in the future.

NOTE: If you plan to use a weed whacker, PLEASE BRING EYE PROTECTION! These devices can kick up a lot of dust and small stones.

Bring gloves to protect your hands, loppers to cut branches and if you have one, a small saw for branches that are too large for the loppers. This trail tends to grow a LOT of grass, so we’ll need as many weed whackers as people can bring..

If the weather is good we’ll have a picnic social after the hike; bring a dish to pass and something to drink with you. If it’s cool or threatening to rain then we’ll skip the social this time.

Directions: Wheaton Hill is the first right turn north of the intersection of Rt 15 and Rt 15A in Springwater (0.9 mile north of the intersection).  The trail head is 0.5 miles up Wheaton Hill just before the road turns straight east and heads up the main hill.  More details are on the directions page.

What to bring:

• Gloves and clippers – hand clippers or long handled loppers for larger branches.
• A weed whacker if you have one, with gas mixture and extra string. 
• Small bow saw.
• Plastic grocery bags in case you find any litter.
• Water to keep hydrated.
