SABCH TRAIL WORKDAY VIDEOS

SABCH conducts a trail workday weekly in the Tellico and Ocoee Ranger Districts of  the Cherokee National Forest.  These workdays are led by Volunteer Trails Coordinator Ken Jones.  Many of the trails are in Wilderness areas and the trails are steep and remote.  Volunteers, mostly SABCH members, work on both horse and hiking trails, including the Benton McKaye.  US Forest Service regulations prohibit the use of motorized equipment in Wilderness areas, including chain saws, so all trail work must be accomplished by hand tools such as crosscut saws, axes, loppers, Pulaskis, and swing blades.  The  videos below are documentaries of some of the workdays.  SABCH is grateful to the the US Forest Service and the volunteers who give so much of their time to keep these remote trails open and protect them for future generations of hikers and horseback riders.

If you like to participate and give something back to our trail system, see historical places, beautiful scenery, and enjoy the friendship and camaraderie of hard work...plus gain a great feeling of accomplishment... contact us!
