QECP Trail Collective Dig Day

The task will be on the Middle Blue Trail, clearing trail for soil deposits, re-building berms , improving drainage. Please meet at 9am in Laser Tag Car Park (next to Upper Windmill Car Park, sometimes called lower Juniper). If you arrive later please meet us on the trail.

The QECP Trail Collective are a group of volunteers who want to ensure that the trails in the park are safe, fun to use, and suitable for various levels of experience.

The 'dig days' at QECP involve manual labour using a selection of tools, including spades, rakes, hoes and mattocks. While this will be of particular interest to those who use the trails, it is not just for mountain bikers. No riding is required on dig days! All volunteers can leave with a sense of satisfaction of a good session's work, some great 'before and after' shots.

Health and safety is very important, all volunteers will be given a tool & task talk. This is for your safety and that of others, whilst you are volunteering. You will need gloves, long trousers and appropriate sturdy footwear, such as walking or safety boots (steel toe caps if you have them). You may not be able to dig if you have inappropriate footwear. Along with some layers/ waterproofs, hat and insect repellent. You will be in the woods and therefore need to be mindful of ticks/mosquitos. We highly recommend bringing water, and any snacks you need.

We look forward to welcoming you!
