MAFWDA has made arrangements with the Forest Manager of Green Ridge State Forest in Flintstone, Maryland to participate in a volunteer weekend. This will be a camp and work project with those camping arriving the afternoon of Friday April 10th, volunteer work Saturday April 11th, and departing on Sunday. MAFWDA has established a great professional relationship with the Forest Manager over the past couple of years. There are some roads that are not regularly maintained by the forest service and can bee a little rough; stock rigs should be okay on most if not all roads. When the volunteer work is done Larry will lead a tour of the forest and travel some of the rougher roads and possible creek crossings. There are several overlooks with great views of the surrounding area and the Potomac River down in the valley.

A primitive group camp site (G-6) has been reserved for us for the weekend that will accommodate no more than 20 people. This site will not accommodate large RVs or travel trailers; pop-up camper may fit. Larry recommends a tent so we can get everyone on site. The site has a small pavilion and he is working with forest personnel to have a porta-john placed on site. If that doesn’t work out then your bathroom will be where the rest of the animals relieve themselves. The proposed work consist of restoring a couple primitive camp sites and a trail accessing the Chesapeake and Ohio Tow Path along the Potomac River.

Larry is collecting names of those who wish to participate and volunteer. If you can only participate on Saturday that is fine also. This is a family oriented weekend event so bring the brood with you.

If you will be participating please contact Larry Pope.
