- **Event Name**: Volunteer Day on the Essex Gateway Trail 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join Champlain Area Trails for a Volunteer Day on the Essex Gateway Trail. This is considered an easy trail. It is roughly a 3-mile round-trip that passes through forest, pasture, and open farmland until its terminus at Blockhouse Road. Much of the trail passes through Essex Farm, which is a busy place with cattle, sheep, pigs, and all forms of cultivation.
  
During this working hike, we will engage in trail maintenance activities such as lopping, hand sawing, string-trimming, and cleaning up the trail, making it safer and more enjoyable for all hikers. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and contribute to preserving a fantastic community trail.
  
WHAT TO BRING:
- Tools: Champlain Area Trails will provide loppers, hand saws, and string trimmers, but feel free to bring your own tools if you prefer.
- Safety Gear: Bring gloves and protective eyewear (if using a string trimmer).
- Hydration: Don’t forget to bring water!
- Snacks: Pack some snacks for energy during the hike.
- Clothing: Dress for cold weather in layers and footwear that can get wet.
