Big Bone Lick

Northern Kentucky Sierra Club is organizing an evening of trail service at Big Bone Lick State Park on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 5:00 PM.

The group will hike along the trails and clean up as they go during this moderate, self-paced event.  Great for older kids and teenagers who like the woods.  You’ll likely see deer, turkey, hawks, etc.  This will mostly be trail cleanup such as pulling downed limbs off the trail, trimming back bushes & trees, etc.

The work crew can be 30-40 minutes from cars or restrooms.  Wear work & weather-tolerant clothes, shoes with good treads, and work gloves.  Bring liquids and snacks.  Minors must be accompanied by parent or guardian.  It would be useful if you can bring tools such as loppers or a bow saw.  Some tools are available as well.

Rating: easy to moderate hiking and work, sometimes in cool-damp or hot-humid conditions.

Sign Up at the NKY Sierra Club

Sierra Club Northern Kentucky (NKY) is meeting on Saturday, May 8, 2010 to perform trail service at Big Bone Lick State Park on five miles of mostly wooded hilly trails, including two blazed by the NKY group.  This is one of several service outings scheduled throughout the year.

This outing will include routine trail repairs and upkeep, especially weed-whipping and bush and branch trimming.  The work crew will depart from the meeting location 15-20 minutes after the scheduled start.  So don’t come late unless you know where they will be working.

Be sure to wear weather-appropriate work clothing, shoes with good treads, and work gloves.  Bring your own liquids and trail snacks, as desired.  Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. 

Rating: easy to moderate, suitable for beginners, sometimes including labor in cool, damp, hot or humid conditions.
