There is always lots of work to be completed around the buildings and on the trails at Kawartha Nordic. Tasks include:
  • firewood cut , chopped, split and dispersed to piles
  • Trails cleared of debris, deadfall, rocks and trimmed back
  • Touch up paint jobs 
  • Trailside cabin cleaning
  • Building area grass mowed

 

There are a few loppers, clippers and axes onsite, or bring your own if you can.

Be sure to dress for the forecasted conditions and a warm fire and hot chocolate will be available in the Woodfine Lodge.

Please sign in at the Woodfine Lodge, when you arrive (and again to sign out when you leave). There you can choose a suitable task for your volunteer time.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have come out to help in the past, and Welcome to those who join us this fall!
