Halsey Work Day Planned
The annual work weekend is planned for the Nebraska National Forest near Halsey on Saturday and Sunday, April 12th and 13th 2008. Work days will begin each day at 10 AM. Please meet at the main camp ground parking lot located south of the new Forest Service office located two miles west of Halsey. The more people we have to help, the more we will get done!
On Saturday at 10 AM, a brief meeting will be held to discuss details concerning the work to be completed for the weekend. Trail work will begin after the meeting. Later that day a Board of Directors meeting will be held at 5 PM in the group camp ground.
The group camp ground has been reserved for use by volunteers on a first come, first serve basis. The camp ground has room for ten campers and many tents. Please be informed that the water WILL NOT be on to water hydrants, to the showers and toilets. Toilets will be open in the Forest Service main office during the day. Contact Dan Nitzel at the NOHVA business office for more information. Motels are also available in Thedford about 15 miles west on highway 2.
Members of the Halsey Trails Club hope that other trail users will be involved with the trail work days. Anyone who enjoys an ATV, dirtbike, horse, jeep, 4x4 or like to hike are involved to join us!
During the work days, volunteers will be involved with performing work on trails and maintenance to the existing Dismal River Trail. Details of ATV and dirtbike related work include blocking off of un-authorized hill climbs and trails with trees and fencing, re-seeding the disturbed area and raking over the seed. The cattle gates need to be dug out for the season and approaches to the gates need to be improved. What little trash there is along the trails needs to be picked up. NOHVA will supply the materials for ATV and dirtbike trail plans. Please bring the following items IF you have them: flat end shovels, hard tooth rakes, and of course your ATV or dirtbike! 4x4 ATVs with trailers are a BIG PLUS. Many of the areas are accessible by pickup truck.
Any one who is interested in preserving trails at the Nebraska National Forest is encouraged to attend and help!
