Teanaway Community Forest
Event Overview
Join the Mountains to Sound Greenway and DNR to celebrate National Public Lands Day with service! The Teanaway Community Forest is 50,241 acres of land co-managed by DNR and DFW with the input of a citizen advisory committee. There are derelict barbed wire fences cutting across the landscape that pose a danger to recreators and wildlife alike. Your project will be removing a section of derelict fencing! Meet your site lead at the West Fork turnaround and carpool to the section of fence that you’ll be pulling out. Gloves, wire cutters, and guidance will be provided on site.
Difficulty
Moderate. You will be pulling out old barbed wire fences and hauling portions to the road, often walking through the forest off a trail.
Age Restriction
Ages 14 and up
What to Bring

Wear long sleeves and long pants with closed toed shoes. We will provide leather gloves, but you’ll need to protect the rest of your skin from contact with the barbed wire.
