Workday Saturday Nov. 14, 2026

Hello ATA Volunteers,

We are monitoring weather conditions closely for this coming Saturday. The forecast is calling for less than a half inch of snow at the worksite Friday evening, with calm winds and clearing skies Saturday. However any change in snow elevation could lead to big changes in accumulation.

For now we will plan to meet at the Charity Valley Trailhead on Hot Springs Rd. at 10:00 am to give it time to warm up some. A small group may continue to Grover Hot Springs to remove a couple downed trees west of the park, while the group at the trailhead will have their own set of smaller trees to remove and 180 new baby trees to get in the ground. We should wrap it up by 1:00 pm

Please monitor emails closely as delays or cancellations may happen as late as 8:00 am on Saturday morning.

All dogs must be on leash on State Park property.

Please RSVP “Reply to All” if you plan to attend any workday. Be aware, personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for all ATA workdays. Volunteers must wear long sleeves and pants, closed toe shoes, gloves, sunglasses and hardhats. We provide the tools, hardhats, instruction, trained safety personnel and equipment. Please bring food and water to last the workday. A backpack for carrying food, water, and supplies is recommended. No late arrivals please and if you wish to leave early you will need a partner and your own transportation. Dogs are allowed only on days where the crew leaders feel it is appropriate – see pre-event email for details.
