Project Description

Volunteer with the Pacific Northwest Trail Association as we build a turnpike on a section of trail in the Harry Osborn State Forest!

This section of trail traverses shaded slopes of alder and Douglas fir just below Mt. Josephine. At this event, we’ll complete a turnpike project started by volunteers and one of our Performance Trail Crews this June.

What is a turnpike? A turnpike is a trail structure built with rock and wood designed to lift the trail out of a trenched or muddy area. This project will involve use of wood working tools, wheelbarrows, and hand tools. Learn more about turnpikes and other trail structures here.

Whether you’re new to trail work, or a seasoned professional, working with a team to build a structure like this can be truly rewarding. Hikers will enjoy the fruits of your labor for seasons to come!

Participants will meet at 9:00am at the Les Hilde Trailhead in the Harry Osborne State Forest about 10 miles east of Sedro-Woolley. Be advised a WA State Discover Pass is required. From the trailhead we will drive a short distance to the worksite where we will have a quick safety chat and then get to work, wrapping up about 3:00pm.

Volunteers must have a daypack, lunch, water, long pants, long sleeves and boots.
