Volunteers needed for trail party

September 5, 2016

Volunteers are needed for repairing the Boulder Meadows trail near Naples in a work party set for Friday, September 9. Volunteer crews will be digging water drainage ditches, installing water bars, and replacing soil that has been washed off the trail. The project is on a section of the non-motorized Boulder Meadows trail about one mile up the trail from the trailhead parking area. This section of the Boulder Meadows trail is part of the 900-mile Idaho Centennial Trail that runs from the Nevada border on the south to American Falls on the north near the U.S.-Canada border. Volunteers will use hand tools provided by the Forest Serve to do light work on the closed dirt road that's been converted to a single track. Everyone should bring work gloves, eye protection, sturdy shoes, lunch, and water. Those coming in from Bonner County will meet at the far end of the parking lot at the Bonner Mall, bt the theater, at 7:30 a.m.; those from Boundary County will meet at the junction of Highway 95 and 20 Mile Road just north of Naples at 8 a.m. To get to the site, high clearance vehicles are recommended.
