National Public Lands Day

Using historical preservation techniques, we will weatherproof our beautiful natural wood rails on the West Jenny Lake boat dock and the Chasm bridge. Opportunities for different projects in this beautiful area if we have lots of volunteers!!

Come Join us at 9am for a scenic hike-in to our lakeside project on beautiful Jenny Lake. The hike will be just over a mile from Moose Ponds parking area over the Chasm bridge to the West Jenny Lake Boat Dock near Inspiration Point to oil handrails.

We use a natural linseed oil and pine tar mixture to protect our beautiful structures from sun, rain, and snow. Please consider wearing clothes that are comfortable for hiking but are OK to get a little oil/tar on.  The day will include light to moderate physical activity.  All ages and skills are welcome. Tools, materials, and gloves provided. There is no running water or bathroom facilities on this side of the lake so please come prepared. Don't forget to bring water, snacks, hats, and sunscreen!

Please call or email Angela Timby at 307-739-3358 or Angela_Timby@nps.gov with any questions or to RSVP for this event. We welcome questions about accessibility to join our event if you need more information.  Your RSVP allows us to best prepare for the number of people and can also let us know if we need an additional project!  There is plenty to do, so invite your friends and family to come join us in celebrating our public lands through community service.
