REGULARLY SCHEDULED VOLUNTEER WORK DAYS:

Notification of upcoming volunteer work days will be posted on our website and emailed to those who elect to receive email notification. We will be on site with tools and guidance, all you need to bring is yourself (and friends or family).

Trail Steward:

If you are interested in working on an informal but ongoing basis in your neighborhood or on a favorite trail, we would be happy to arrange something with you. Examples: trail maintenance, beautification projects, trail surveys and reports.

  • Walk your assigned trail regularly (at least once a week).
  • Use the “Steward Report” monthly to help us keep track of the trail conditions.
  • Use a set of bypass snips to prune back any encroaching vegetation.
  • Carry small trash bags and carry out whatever trash you can.
  • Check on the condition of bridges and culverts and make note of any areas that could use resurfacing.
DONE IN A DAY PROJECTS:

For groups or individuals including student projects, public service, corporate, church or community organization projects. Examples include trail surfacing, planting and mulching, cleanup projects.
