BEAST Trail Work Day Sat Oct 17, 2020
I hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving weekend amid the latest Covid-19 restrictions. As you may or may not know the BEAST snowmobile club is working with Beckwith Township to extend the 4th line of Beckwith road allowance from Hwy 15, at the lights in Franktown, to the OVRT. This addition will help us in many ways. It will allow us to groom earlier because the trail will be clean of stumps and stones and also high and dry. The previous route (305) was through private property and it had two water courses that needed time to freeze up before grooming activities could proceed.
This new route is spectacular this time of year. The trail is cut through a maple bush and the colours this year are somewhat overwhelming. We think you will be impressed.
Anyways, the reason for this notice is to ask for your help with our final push to finish the work required with our agreement with Beckwith Township. All the chainsaw and equipment work is complete but we need to cleanup the brush that is leftover. We have arranged for the use of 2 wood chippers for Saturday October 17th. That is next weekend. What we need from you is manual effort to feed the chippers.
We will be attacking the work from both ends of the trail. If you are arriving by ATV you can access the work area at the OVRT. If you are accessing by car/truck you can access the work area at Hwy 15 at the traffic lights at Franktown. The gravel road west of the lights dead ends at the trail.
What you will need to bring, PPE such as safety glasses, ear protection, layered sturdy clothing, warm and durable boots and work gloves. Perhaps some water and snacks.
There will be food arranged at some point mid day compliments of the BEAST.
START TIME: 8:30 a.m.
If you can contribute some time for this please reply to info@thebeast.ca with the name(s) of people you will be bringing and how you will be arriving. ATV or vehicle.
Hoping to see many volunteers out to finish the work. Ciao for now.
Ian Edwards, BEAST President
