Four weeks have gone by so quickly!! The three crews of Fall 1 have been working hard, learning new skills and completing some amazing projects. Here is a quick snapshot of what folks will be working on in our final week of the session.
Blue Last week they travelled to the great north, where the beauty of the Entiat Ranger district has welcomed them with open arms. They will spend their final two weeks, constructing drainage, installing steps in steep areas, and giving the trail a facelift. Blue crew is currently about 5 miles into this amazing trail, they will be moving further this weekend.
