Celebrate Feather River Land Trust at Olsen Barn Meadow this Friday in Chester

Celebrate Feather River Land Trusts’ 23rd anniversary with a day at Olsen Barn Meadow in Chester this Friday, Feb. 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. See event details and register for the event on the website 

Please bring your snow gear. The meadow in winter is a great opportunity for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing — or a walk in sturdy snow boots is always fun too! If you need snowshoes or skis, reach out to Bodfish Bicycles and Quiet Mountain Sports in Chester to see about reserving gear for the day. Please bring snacks and a bag lunch. Warm beverages and cookies will be provided. Help reduce waste by bringing along a mug or travel cup for coffee or tea. Be sure to bring sun protection, warm layers, and water.

Participants should park and meet at the Olsen Barn Meadow parking area located off of Highway 36 in Chester. If there is a large snow berm blocking the entrance to the parking lot, please park in the plowed right of way along Highway 36. Be sure park single file and be careful when pulling out onto the Highway after your visit.
