# Event Details - **Event Name**: Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm - **Event Description**: Hike the trails and volunteer to clear streams and culverts, while identifying potential future worksites.About this EventLeader: Charlie McCabeStarting Location: Long Pond Parking LotVolunteering Activity Description: We’ll take a hike of a few miles over the course of a few hours in a specific area of the fells. We’ll see where water is pooled, where it's flowing, or where it's not flowing into streams and culverts across trails. We’ll work together to unblock streams and culverts as best as we can and discover places where there’s a culvert or other structure that has been long buried by the usual debris of leaves, sticks, branches, and rocks. We’ll see if we can get the water moving again, and, if we can’t, we’ll note the spot for a future trail crew workday once spring returns.Winter Culvert Hikes will be dependent on weather conditions and trail conditions, so an announcement will be sent 24 hours in advance letting you know if the walk is a go or not. Generally, if the trails are too icy, if the snow is too deep, or if there’s a blizzard bearing down on us, we’ll cancel. If it’s raining or warm and snow is melting, and water is flowing, we’ll proceed. (Generally, we can learn a lot during times of big runoffs.)What to bring: Dress warmly in layers and be prepared for the weather, including several pairs of work gloves and a drink of your choice to stay hydrated. The tools of choice are sharpshooter shovels (long skinny shovels) or stiff metal rakes (often used for spreading soil or mulch); both are great for removing debris around culverts and bridges. I’ll bring a few of each in case you need one.Questions or comments, please contact Charlie at chasmccabe@gmail.com.Steady rain, heavy snow, or lightning will cancel. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winchester/volunteer-on-winter-culvert-hikes/100001977409112887 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, workshops, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Winchester - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Long Pond Parking Lot - **lat**: 42.4496113 - **long**: -71.125666 - **full address**: Long Pond Parking Lot, Long Pond Parking Lot, Winchester, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/04cddb76a5c0ad8e9531e58c7208264ca213b48b9e427084fa789ed1a43ea166-rimg-w1200-h1600-dcc2d1de-gmir.jpg?v=1766310772 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes being held? - **A:** Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes takes place on Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Long Pond Parking Lot, Long Pond Parking Lot, Winchester, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes? - **A:** Volunteer on Winter Culvert Hikes is organized by Friends of the Fells. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
