TRAIL WORK

We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities for trail work. You can participate in regularly scheduled volunteer work days, ongoing stewardship projects, and “Done in a Day” projects.

Responsibilities: Trail work volunteers are expected to come prepared for trail work. We ask that you wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves and water. All volunteers are required to review our volunteer handbook prior to working on the trails. In addition to instruction in basic tasks, the handbook outlines our code of conduct, which includes essential guidelines for maintaining our positive relationship with landowners and the community as a whole. The volunteer handbook is available here.

EVENTS

We have two events each year which require many volunteers, in order for them to run smoothly. These are the “Happy Trails Big Bash & Silent Auction” in the Spring and the “Portland Trails 10K—Trail to Ale” in the Fall.
