The
Gunpowder Valley Conservancy is seeking 40 volunteers!

Why:  Our
goal is to offer a hands-on learning experience within Loch Raven Reservoir on
the proper techniques of trail maintenance, (such as rolling grade dips to prevent sediment erosion and improve water quality).  This FREE
event is made possible by a conservation grant from Recreational Equipment,
Inc., a partner with Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC), and by partnerships
forged with the City of Baltimore
  Reservoir Natural Resources Section /Watershed Rangers
and the Mid-Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts (MORE).  

Who: 
No Experience is necessary!  We are looking for middle, high, and college level
students, REI  employees, community
residents, scouts, and trail users who care about our drinking water, our watershed,
and the Chesapeake Bay!  Do you like being outside in nature and don’t
mind working hard?  Do you want to
receive community service hours?  Then
join us, and help improve the quality of our drinking water and the environment!
 (Ages 12 and up.)

When: Please arrive by 8:15 am to sign in/register. 
We will start the workshop at 8:30 am sharp to pre-empt the hot
temperatures.

Where: From 695, take exit 27
  –Dulaney Valley Rd. north.  Follow for about ¼ mile, then turn left onto Seminary Ave.  Turn right immediately into the Church of Latter Day Saints parking lot.  Look for the trail maintenance workshop
sign.  Meet at the sign in table. 

Equipment: Remember to wear
sturdy shoes, bring a hat, gloves, large shovel and clothes that can get
dirty.   Bring your own lunch and water.  We will break for lunch around noon.

Registration: Volunteers must register
by July 7, (space limited to 40 volunteers). 
 To register or for questions, contact Peggy
Perry, Program Director of Gunpowder Valley Conservancy at  410-668-0118 or pperry@gunpowderfalls.org .
