We’re at the beginning of another Blue Ridge Parkway season, and it’s time to start preparing the Blue Ridge Music Center area for visitors. The Fisher Peak Chapter of FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway is planning a workday on Saturday, April 30, 2016 from 10 a.m. til noon with a hot dog cookout immediately following the work activities. FRIENDS will be providing the “dogs,” toppings, bottled water, ice, cups, plates. Participating volunteers can bring a side dish or dessert, and non-alcoholic drink.
Some workers will clean out leaves and dirt from the water drains on 3 miles of hiking trails. Others will spread mulch and pull unwanted plants in the natural areas. Everyone is asked to bring work gloves and possibly sun protection or rain gear depending on the weather. A hard steel rake or garden hoe would be helpful if you have one.
Directions: From the Blue Ridge Parkway, turn into the Music Center main entrance near milepost 212.8, then turn right just before the entrance gate onto Foothills Road, and then left at the bottom of the hill onto Stage Road. Park behind the amphitheater which is on the left a couple hundred yards farther.
Bring a friend. Get involved with planning Chapter events. If you have questions, contact the Chapter at [email protected] or call 276-237-7124.
