Description: Join The Wilderness Chapter and the Buckeye Trail Association for the annual work party covering the Road Fork and Whipple Sections. This project will focus mostly on widening segments of the off-road trail in the Wayne National Forest in the Ohio Valley region (Marietta Unit).

Location and Camping: Little Muskingum Watershed Association property at 9 Thomas Ridge Rd, off OH 26, New Matamoras, Ohio 45767 beginning on the evening of Friday, July 11th. You do not have to stay for the entire event and you can commute to our volunteer sites if you wish. The daily plan and safety meeting is daily after breakfast at 7:30am.

Meals: The chuckwagon will be there to provide all meals to a limited number of people. Please reserve a spot for the chuckwagon when you register to attend. There is a limited number of these that we can take. If you do not reserve the chuckwagon, you will need to pack your own food.

Camping: Camping is at Little Muskingum Watershed Association property. If you plan to stay overnight with us, RV's are welcome, but boondocking should be anticipated. For others, please bring a tent, sleeping bag and either a sleeping pad, or cot. With a cot, you can get an indoor accommodation, but these are limited. You may be parking in a field. And remember to fill your water tank(s) before you arrive.

The Little Muskingum Watershed Association is a large grassy property on the side of Ohio State Route 26 in Ludlow Township of Washington County, Ohio. There is room for lots of tents. At this site, showers and toilets are provided, but drinking water isn't and you should bring your own.
