Join CATS Volunteer Day at The Beaver Flow Trail: Help Improve Local Trails!
November 8, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Join us on Saturday, November 8th, at 9 a.m. for a Saturday Volunteer Day at the Beaver Flow Trail!
Date: November 8th
Time: 9 AM
Location: Bobcat/Beaver Flow Trailhead, Walker Rd, Essex, New York
Are you looking for an outdoor adventure while giving back to the community? Join Champlain Area Trails for a Second Saturday Volunteer Project on the Beaver Flow Trail. This is considered an easy trail. It is roughly a 2.5 round-trip that meanders through a mixed forest and runs parallel to a small waterway with lots of beaver activity.
During this working hike, we will engage in trail maintenance activities such as developing new tread, lopping, hand sawing, string-trimming, and cleaning up the trail, making it safer and more enjoyable for all hikers. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and contribute to preserving a fantastic community trail.
WHAT TO BRING:
– Tools: Champlain Area Trails will provide loppers, hand saws, and string trimmers, but feel free to bring your own tools if you prefer.
– Safety Gear: Bring gloves and protective eyewear (if using a string trimmer).
– Hydration: Don’t forget to bring water!
– Snacks: Pack some snacks for energy during the hike.
– Clothing: Dress in layers and footwear that can get muddy. Be mindful of bugs and ticks.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Meet at the Bobcat North/Beaver Flow Trailhead on Walker Road.
