Calling for Berm builders

We will be focusing on 3 locations that are close to each other. All of which are at the part of the trail that will be called the “earth is flat”.
In priority
(1) We will need to remove/rebuild and secure the oldest berm in the trail. Some say was hand built by the original and first trail coordinator.
(2) build a new berm in a 180 degree turn close by. Hudson is leading that build.
(3) install the missing 2*4 on the TB bridge.
(4) (stretch goal) hack some roots at the beginning of Chuck Norris.
Tools needed.
Dirt collecting and transportation (for every pair they will need wheelbarrow, spades, shovels)
Berm building (tampers/stump, water, flat shovel)
Finish the bridge (drill, saw, wood skrews)
I will take care of the wood needed for the bridge, post hole digger and a rake.
As always bring your gloves and water.
