Volunteers: Become Friends of the Forest® at
The Bradwell Bay F-Troop
Call for Volunteers – September 15th and 16th
Volunteers are invited to join the Florida Trail Association, National Forest Foundation (NFF), and the U.S. Forest Service for a volunteer weekend of trail maintenance and good company along the Florida National Scenic Trail in the Bradwell Bay Wilderness Area of the Apalachicola National Forest. The Friends of the Forest Day F-Troop event will take place from September 15th – 16th. Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate, and may register on-line at www.becomeafriend.org or by sending an e-mail to join@f-Troop.org.
Volunteers will be helping to restore the trail throughout the wilderness area which has experienced several wildfires in recent years. There will be work for all ability levels from painting blazed and clearing small brush to removing fallen trees from the trail corridor. All meals for volunteers will be provided and Saturday night’s campfire will include a discussion on Leave No Trace ethics. Additional information about what to wear, what to bring, where to meet, etc., will be provided to registered volunteers.
This Friends of the Forest Day, like all Florida Trail events, is a great opportunity for families to experience their National Forest lands, have fun while learning something new and contribute to the well being of our public lands. The Friends of the Forest Day is being co-hosted by the Florida Trail Association and the National Forest Foundation.
