For this summer work trip, we will backpack mulch out to the Icewater shelter storage bins. Mulch is pre-bagged in 20lb. bags (you're only expected to carry one!) and we have extra backpacking-style backpacks if needed. Although it doesn't sound very glamorous to carry mulch, it is a crucial part of backcountry waste management! Experienced and non- experienced mulch mules welcome! Hike to Icewater 6 miles RT. Meet at Newfound Gap parking lot at 8 am, or if you'd like to carpool, meet at Sugarlands Visitor Center at 7:15 am. Register in advance, so I know how much mulch to bring.
Leader: Terry Martin Leader contact information is included under Additional Information in the email you receive after registration.
