Tools (optional)

*****should you bring personal tools please clearly label them so you can make it home with what you brought.

*******note – we do not expect anyone volunteer to provide everything on this list, pick one or two things

1. Cut new trail to access Bales Park and 61^st at SW corner of 61^st and HWY 75
2. Rake out drains on all trails
   • This is an ongoing project to keep the new trails in good repair.
3. Rock armor low wet spot on upper lot north entrance.
   •  That north trailhead is unfortunately where most of the water drains for the upper parking lot. This will require a lot of rock moving.
4. Touch up on new staircase
   • After a week of use and settling in, it likely will need some touchup, crushing rocks in the trail bed to add thinking to keep rocks from teetering
   • Likely first couple of years of stairs will need periodic maintenance like this.
5. Older trail reclamation
   • Some older trails that were shut down permanently (like the blue trail next to Zingo, the old yellow trail that went from upper lot to ridge/point, the old west entrance on upper parking lot near driveway) are starting to get “reopened” by folks and we need to go in and rebrush them and reclaim them.
6. Additionally if any families or groups wish to just come out and pick up litter we will gladly set them to work too!

If you have any questions please contact Bobby, Eric or Peter

Recently some person took it upon themselves to remove a tree from Turkey Mountain. 

They did this without the permission of the land owner. This makes the action vandalism. 

We understand that in years past rogue cleanups often happened and generally were well managed. 

With the increased use Turkey Mountain is seeing in the past few years, this is a practice that simply must stop. The trees that are being felled are sometimes not the ones that need to go, including the tree that was cut down recently. 

When the TUWC has a work day, we coordinate with the land owners. We plan carefully what trails we will work on, what work will be performed and what tools we will need.

The use of power tools requires a full shutdown of the trails that the work is performed to prevent any accidents of a trail user surprising someone wielding a chainsaw. 

Currently the only persons allowed to work on Turkey Mountain with any type of power equipment are those employed by the River Parks Authority. If you see anyone using power tools in the park without RPA authorization, please contact the proper authorities.
