About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

A second day of trail-building fun! Building from the amazing complex of trails at the Dover Stone Church Preserve, the Town of Dover has acquired the magnificent Seven Wells area and is now building a sustainable trail to navigate to the incredible series of waterfalls and water-carved unique stone features this landscape holds. Join the Dutchess Land Conservancy as we work on a variety of tasks, from challenging to general, that will help make this trail a sustainable part of the Stone Church Preserve system. While there will be various skill-levels of tasks, there is a 0.5-mile hike to the work area. Navigating to the work site contains uphill sections and uneven ground. We will meet behind the CVS on Rt22 in Dover.

Lunch will be provided.

Parking: Park at the CVS Parking Lot at 3081 NY Route 22 in Dover Plains

What to Bring:
