Rescheduled Western States Trail Work

Monday January 23 2011

Due to the prediction of moderate to heavy rain and wind, the January 21 trail work event was cancelled. Pending approval from the Auburn State Recreation Area, we will add Saturday, March 3 to the 2012 work schedule. All time and meeting location details planned for tomorrow will now apply to March 3. Please RSVP for this new event if you plan on attending to trails@ws100.com.

Please remember that the United States Forest Service requires that you fill out, sign and send the Volunteer Liability Release Form (this is not the WS service requirement form) to the agency office before you can volunteer. You will not need a form for the first two scheduled work days but you will for March and all other dates. Accordingly, please have your form submitted to the Foresthill USFS office no later than Friday, March 9. Instructions and a link to the PDF form are provided at ws100.com/projects.htm#fedform. You can provide a scanned signature and send to the e-mail address provided or print, sign and fax or mail. Or, to sign the form electronically (digital ID) click on the link in the signature field and follow the directions for creating a new digital ID. You can then save and send a copy of the PDF file. Please remember this is very important to the agency and they are important to us!
