The Bureau of Land Management will have a volunteer family friendly day of trail maintenance work at the Susan Creek Falls Trail, as part of National Public Lands Day this Saturday.

A BLM release said the event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm.

Swiftwater Field Manager Mike Korn said, “We are excited to offer a National Public Lands Day event at our Susan Creek Falls Trail”.  Korn said, “This is a great opportunity for our local communities to assist in maintaining and restoring the trail, one of our most visited recreation sites”.

Volunteers interested in participating should arrive by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Volunteer opportunities will include continued work to repair recreation infrastructure affected by the 2020 Archie Creek Fire.

The release said the BLM will provide all tools and work gloves needed. Participants should wear sturdy shoes, sunscreen, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants and should bring water and a light snack.

To get to the initial meeting location, travel approximately 29 miles east of Roseburg on Highway 138E. The parking area is approximately a half mile past the Tioga Pedestrian Bridge. Parking will be available at the trail head and the Susan Creek Day use area.

Those who plan to participate should RSVP their attendance to Greg Deimel at: gdeimel@blm.gov.

This event is one of hundreds occurring across the nation in celebration of National Public Lands Day.
