Finegold Ranch Workday Saturday April 1, 2023 (updated 03/27/23)
10am until dark
From community Marc Mandel:
Howdy folks we are going forward with a big workday Saturday April 1 starting around 10am until we cant work any longer!
Bring chainsaws, weedwhackers shovels(poor mans backhoe!) and any other digging implements as the road needs lots of help.
Also might want to bring a few carpentry tools like hammer, nail belt, and battery operated drills and saws. Nails and screws for making a barrier to Notch House deck and making the Long House safer. Pulling nails from the leftover plywood from previous workday for future use.
If time allows we will probably run some loads of firewood up to the Hill House.
We might be doing a lot of shoveling so eat your Wheaties ; )
If you have questions contact Marc at 1-559-269-1541

*Workday Thursday April 14th* and *Easter weekend Activities*
Hey everyone! Our long awaited Easter Gathering is just around the corner.
We will be having a half work day at Finegold on Thursday, April 14 just before Easter weekend. Please come help if you can. If you are unable to help with some tasks, please come cheer us on! We are working on firebreaks, moving the beautiful picnic tables and tree trimming if possible. There’s an evil weed growing down by the creek, I think Jason Marshall calls it “goats head”, it would be great to remove that. The thorns are really bad and will eventually make it impossible for the little kids to go barefoot creek side. Lets get it out before it goes to seed.
I'm also interested in organizing some activities if you are interested in sharing your craft or teaching something, please reach out to me @503-580-1986. Please remember to bring your donation for each activity. these volunteers are donating their time to share their craft and support Finegold. Susie Carrillo will be teaching weaving on the hour every hour beginning at 10am Saturday. I will be leading a early morning hike to Crooks Mtn Saturday morning at 830. We also have Kate, a botanist, who will be leading a nature walk on Saturday! Easter egg dying will be Saturday morning at ten ’clock. Potluck is at dinner time. There will be Finegold Ranch merch for sale(tshirts, tote bags, hats etc) with all proceeds going to support Finegold. Marc Mandel will be announcing the next project.
If you’re able to help on workday, please bring appropriate workwear and safety items as well as weedwhackers and any other tools! Activities will be posted at the gate. Feel free to call with questions. So exciting!
Access for day use and overnight camping will open on Thursday, April 14th, at noon. Anyone wishing access sooner should contact the Board at finegoldboardoftrustees@gmail.com. Please remember we count on both day use ($5.00/person) and overnight camping fees ($15/person/night; $35/family/night) to offset the costs associated with providing sanitation facilities etc. If this is a hardship, please do not let that prevent you from enjoying the Ranch.
