CT NEMBA will be hosting a Trail Work day on Sunday, July 19th.

We will be meeting at the Spring Street entrance to Case Mtn at 9 AM. The object is to clear brush from the overlook.

Bring gloves and eye protection; and loppers or brush cutters if you have them.

Long pants and/or bug repellant with DEET highly recommended, as you will be working in a very brushy area with plenty of ticks.

Contact Al Tinti with any questions.
