Volunteer Day: Trailblazing at Texas School House State Forest, Mt. Vision, NY 13810

All volunteers will need to submit a registration form. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a parent sign the form. Contact Stacey who is listed below for details of registration.

On Saturday, July 1, 2017 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM the Town of New Lisbon in cooperation with the New York Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will sponsor a Volunteer Day. Out plan is to clear about two miles of recreational trails in the Texas School House State Forest. The DEC has granted our town a volunteer stewardship agreement which allows us to plan, clear, and maintain these trails on state land. We have picked a beautiful area. The proposed trails take the hiker over varied terrain, through a mature woods to a large pond with abundant bird and wildlife to view. Volunteers are welcome to help this effort by clearing debris and down trees by hand from the proposed trails. For safety’s sake, and to open up this event to adults and younger men and women, much of the work requiring chainsaws and machines will have been started in advance – only hand tools needed on Volunteer Day. That said, there will be plenty do to clear the trails of down trees and brush using “manual labor.”

All volunteers will need to submit a registration form. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a parent sign the form.

Safety is key. Please wear closed toe work shoes, long pants, a hat, and work gloves. Bring water bug spray, and a camera.
