Participants must be 16 years or older, anyone under 18 must have a guardian accompany them during the workday. Check-in/late registration the morning of will begin at 8:00 AM in the Barr Parking Lot. The project will begin at 8:00 AM and end at 3:30 PM. Please come prepared to work the entire day and hike 3 miles up Barr Trail to the project work site. Tools will be provided; however, bring your own gloves, water, hat, sunscreen and lunch.

Register online for the Incline work day to help them with planning.
