Join us for the Annual Gold Hill Day in Chewelah!
This is the Chewelah Valley Land Trust’s annual event to celebrate the trail network that has been created on Gold Hill / in the Gold Hill Community Forest.
Organized rides/guided tours for mountain bikers (and hikers!)–all are welcome.
Annual membership drive and member meeting–this is a great way to learn all about Gold Hill and the Chewelah Valley Land Trust, tour the trail network, and learn about what’s been built, what’s planned and provide your input and feedback regarding new trails to be built!
Background on Gold Hill Community Forest – Gold Hill is a 400 acre community forest acquired by the Chewelah Valley Land Trust (CVLT) just a few years ago. Located just north of Chewelah (the north side of the Golf & Country Club) in Stevens County. Trails are in the early stages of development, so there will be everything from brushing, digging, raking to develop new trails to brush trimming and vegetation management on existing ones.
CVLT & Evergreen will have some tools on-site to get this job done—but if you have a favorite trail-building tool (e.g. shovel, rake, Rogue hoe, McCleod, loppers, or similar), please bring those along. Gloves, sturdy shoes/boots and safety/sun glasses strongly recommended.
Logistics:
- When: Meet at 9:00 AM – 11:00AM
- Where to meet: The Gold Hill Community Forest parking lot.Location: Gold Hill borders the Chewelah golf course on the North side, the parking lot/trail head is accessed via Palmer Lane on the North end of the golf course. Google Maps directions: https://goo.gl/maps/ZFViFhjrTeLRqFV3A
