Project description
This work party will be devoted to brushing back annual vegetation, primarily Devil’s Club, thimbleberry, Oregon Grape and vine maple. There is reportedly no poison oak in the area.
Hiking information
The hike to the area most in need of brushing is approximately 3 miles each way (6 miles round trip) to the farthest area that needs brushing. The elevation change is approximately 1250’.
