 Wild South volunteers on Sipsey Wilderness Trail 201 in November, 2011
Come give a helping hand to your forest!
Wild South's next Helping Hands volunteer work day in the Bankhead National Forest will be Saturday, January 21, 2012.
Spend a day in the Sipsey Wilderness cleaning up tornado damage on Trail #207 then stay afterwards for our Work Day Soiree at the Wild South office from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.. The entire staff of Wild South will be in Alabama for the trail work and the get-together afterwards. Come work and socialize with us!
 Wild South vounteer Tom McCay on Round Mountain glade in December 2011 The tornadoes of April 2011 provided us with, literally, tons of work on Sipsey Wilderness trails. All hands are welcome as we use hand tools to remove downed trees from the trail. We will go in from the north end of trail #207 via Trail #208 and the Old Northwest Road.
This work is physically demanding and strenuous. Participants must be able to hike at a steady pace for at least 2.5 miles one way on hilly terrain in addition to performing trail work in a place that has been completely rearranged by tornadoes. Volunteers will hike to the work site carrying all tools required to get the job done according to wilderness regulations. This means no mechanized tools - hand tools only, such as crosscut saws, axes, pruning saws, loppers.
