Ah Di Na Campground Restoration Project
Ah Di Na Restoration Project Back on Track!
Dear Ah Di Na Restoration Project Supporters:
I am very pleased to let you know that our project has now received all of the necessary approvals from the US Forest Service and we are cleared to move forward with the work. I want to thank the US Forest Service team at the Shasta McCloud Management Unit and the Winnemem Wintu Tribe in particular for their support and input to get us through the approval process.
We now have new dates for the volunteer sessions that were previously scheduled for May. To recap, the volunteer work will involve upgrading the existing toilet facilities, replacing damaged picnic tables and fire rings, and clearing overgrowth from campsites and trails near the campground. And yes, there WILL be time for fishing!!
The new dates are as follows:
September 8 – 11: Dedicated work on the toilet facilities. We need a small crew of 8-10 volunteers for the following teams:
• Plumbing team: (3-4 people) We have a master plumbing contractor to lead this phase of the project. The work will include plumbing repairs and replacement of sinks and toilets.
• Roofing team: (2-3 people) Repair roofs on the toilet facilities.
• Carpentry/painting team: (3-4 people) Repairs on interior bathroom ceiling and walls, and painting.
• Cooking team: We could also use a team of 2 people to help prepare 3 lunches and 3 dinners for the entire crew and deal with cleanup and trash removal.
Register for Session #1 - 9/8/2025
September 11 - 13: Work on campsites. Replacing picnic tables and fire rings and brush removal from campsites. We need about 30 volunteers for several teams:
• Transport team (8 people) for transport of materials with vehicles that can move assembled picnic tables and fire rings from the Forest Service office in the town of McCloud to the campsite—open bed pickup trucks, trailers, etc are needed.
• Deconstruction team (4 people) for breakdown of damaged picnic tables and fire rings and piling debris for removal.
• Brush team (10-12 people) for clearing invasive blackberries and other brush from campsites and piling debris for disposal.
• Cooking team (4-6 people) to prepare 2 lunches and 3 dinners for the entire crew and deal with cleanup and trash.
Register for Session #2 - 9/11/2025
September 25 – 27: Brush clearing and punch list. We need approximately 15-18 volunteers to complete brush removal at campsites and do trail clearing, tie up any other loose ends from the previous work session, and 3-4 people to prepare 2 lunches and three dinners for volunteers.
Register for Session #3 - 9/25/2025
