QECP Trail Collective Dig Day

Queen Elizabeth Country Park

Join us to maintain the mountain bike trails at QE. No experience necessary, and you don't need to be a mountain bike rider to help us!

Upcoming dates:Saturday 19 September - the group will be working on Final Descent - meeting point Gravel Hill Car Park.All sessions 9am until 1pm unless otherwise stated, volunteers do not need to stay for the full session. Please book a ticket as this helps us plan the session and bring a cup for tea break! The QECP Trail Collective are a group of volunteers who want to ensure that the trails in the park are safe, fun to use, and suitable for various levels of experience.The 'dig days' at QECP involve manual labour using a selection of tools, including spades, rakes, hoes and mattocks. While this will be of particular interest to those who use the trails, it is not just for mountain bikers. No riding is required on dig days! All volunteers can leave with a sense of satisfaction of a good session's work, some great 'before and after' shots.Health and safety is very important, all volunteers will be given a tool &amp; task talk. This is for your safety and that of others, whilst you are volunteering. You will need gloves, long trousers and appropriate sturdy footwear, such as walking or safety boots (steel toe caps if you have them). You may not be able to dig if you do not have inappropriate footwear along with some layers/ waterproofs, hat and insect repellent. You will be in the woods and therefore need to be mindful of ticks/mosquitos. We highly recommend bringing water, and any snacks you need.We look forward to welcoming you!
