The Berkshire AT Committee is in need of volunteers for weekend trail projects in May, June, and throughout the summer. The schedule is posted at:
http://www.amcberkshire.org/at/docs/atProjectSchedule_2004.pdf
The major project in May is extensive bog bridging by the Shay's Rebellion monument in the southern Berkshires. In June we will be tackling construction of a long boardwalk over the Sheffield swamp south of Rt. 7. Both projects are necessitated by the local beaver populations whose work has often put the trail under water. Some of you may have waded these sections last year. Lots of smaller projects are on our schedule (http://www.amcberkshire.org/at/docs/atProjectSchedule_2004.pdf) also in July, August, and September. Please contact the leader listed regarding details. All you New England hikers who want to give back to the trail, please come join us for a day of rewarding work. Keeping the AT in top conditions takes many volunteer hours from many people who care about the trail.
