Subject: Clearing Turkey Mountain Trails


Turkey Mountain Enthusiasts:

I hope this note finds you well and with electricity.

As you have likely observed since the ice storm on December 9th, River Parks
maintenance crews have been focused on clearing trails and park property along
Riverside Drive. Next they will concentrate on clearing the west bank trail and
then the Katy Trail, which is virtually impassable.

River Parks Authority has received calls from many trial users who want to help
remove fallen trees, branches and limbs from the trails on Turkey Mountain.
We've received enough calls that we ought to have some fun with this and
organize an event to get the job done.

Date: Saturday, December 29th
Time: 10am to 2pm
Where to meet: Turkey Mountain Parking Lot

We will form small work groups to tackle the main trails. The goal is to move
trees, logs and other brush that are blocking the trails. We will not haul
these items out, but simply move items to the sides of the trails.

Please bring any equipment you might need: chainsaws, bow saws, nippers, rope,
work gloves, safety glasses, etc.

Some of our local cycling and running shops are donating door prizes for our
volunteers, and I'm looking for donations of snacks/lunch and beverages from
local restaurants (cross your fingers).

The Holidays are a busy time. Join us if you can, and please invite any other
Turkey Mountain trails enthusiasts.

If you have any questions about helping at Turkey Mountain or if you would like
to assist in any other area of the River Parks, please contact me at 645-7424 or
tpitzer@...

We appreciate you,

Tonja


Note:
If you clear any of the Turkey Mountain trails on your own, RPA asks that you
follow these guidelines:
> Trees, logs and other brush that are blocking the trails may be moved off the
trails and left beside the trail. They do not need to be hauled out.
> Do not stack wood or brush in the parking lots as this will invite others to
bring in their debris
> Most importantly, please proceed with caution in this heavily treed area and
keep safety as your first prioirity.
