Courtesy photoDue to high demand, Coastal Rivers has scheduled a second session of the hands-on tool sharpening workshop for Thursday, March 5, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Denny Conservation and Education Center at Round Top Farm.
Coastal Rivers staff will offer instruction on how to safely and effectively sharpen commonly used trail tools including loppers, axes, shovels, and pick and cutter mattocks. Participants are encouraged to bring their own hand tools if they have any in need of sharpening. If not, Coastal Rivers has plenty to share.
Light refreshments will be available, and each participant will leave with their own flat file to use at home.
This workshop is open to all, and there is no cost to participate. Registration is required at coastalrivers.org/events.
