WORKDAY STILL ON SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY MORNING

We are hoping the rain holds off tomorrow morning for our workday. Otherwise, we will work as long as the rain allows assuming no lightening. Even if we don’t get four hours of work, we hope to get something done. The more volunteers we have, the more we can get done in the time we have.

8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Meet at the eastside trailhead
Water will be available
Pizza for lunch afterwards (if not raining)

Bring tools for trimming grass and small tree removal from the trail and loppers for undergrowth.

If we need to cancel, we will post something tomorrow morning.

REMINDER:
WORKDAY THIS SATURDAY,
JUNE 6, 8:00 AM -12:00 PM

Grass is getting too high. Trails are barely visible in many sections. Also, appears we have several trees down on the trails.

Desperately need volunteers to help trim grass and remove downed trees.

Come out and show your support of the Bartlesville Trails by volunteering!

URGENT – VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!!

The Bartlesville Trails are built and maintained by volunteers. If you have visited the trails and enjoyed them then we need your help maintaining them.

Two of our active volunteers are currently unavailable due to medical reasons. Due to recent rains, the trails are quickly becoming overgrown. Based on past experience, we know we need to stay on top of trimming the trails before they become unusable.

Volunteers have two options to help. You can adopt a trail to keep it trimmed. This allows you to work at your own pace and schedule. You can choose which trail to adopt and notify us. Reach out to us for further information. Another option is to come out on our trail workdays that are scheduled periodically during the summer. The first one will be in two weeks.

We are scheduling the first workday of the summer for Saturday, June 6th which is National Trails Day. On this day, not only is it for going out and enjoying local trails but it is also a time to get together to maintain those trails.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

MEET AT THE EAST TRAILHEAD
PIZZA WILL BE PROVIDED AFTERWARDS
WATER WILL BE AVAILABLE

Bring your w**d eaters and any other equipment for trimming!! If you want to help but don’t have the equipment, we have a w**d eater and string mower available.

Be sure to spray yourselves for ticks!!

Enjoy!

It’s been four years since the first group of volunteers started work on the Bartlesville Trails! Thanks to our numerous volunteers hard work since then, we now have 10 miles of trails on the east side and over four miles on the west side. 🎉🙌

In addition, we have trailhead signs on each side which were paid for with donations.

Our followers have grown from a few dozen to over 1650. Thanks for taking an interest in the Bartlesville Trails and continue sharing with your friends. Let’s see that number grow even more!

The east side trails were originally just going to be closed due to the archery tournament on Sat and Sun, May 23 & 24.

However, due to today’s rain, we are closing both the east side and west side trails effective immediately. We will post when they have had a chance to dry out and are useable again.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

⚠️ATTENTION - EAST SIDE TRAILS CLOSED SAT & SUN THIS WEEKEND - MAY 23RD & 24TH

There are periods each summer when the east side trails are closed due to archery tournaments. We have been informed that the Bartlesville Archery Club will be hosting an ASA qualifier Saturday & Sunday this weekend (May 23rd & 24th). The trails will be CLOSED on the EAST side on those dates.

⚠️FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT TRAIL USERS STAY OFF THE EAST SIDE TRAILS DURING THE ARCHERY TOURNAMENT.

The WEST side trails will be available those dates weather permitting.

Once the tournament has concluded on the afternoon of the 24th, the east side trails will be opened.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. We will post a reminder of the trail closing as we get closer to the weekend.
