Description

Like to get your hands dirty? Want to look back at the end of the day with a feeling of accomplishment? Volunteer to join one of our Trail Maintenance and Repair crews. Clear Trails after storms (or the winter off-season), collect trash and debris, build water bars, repair trails damaged by storms or usage, and otherwise help to keep our network of over 15 miles of land trails in tip-top shape. A strong back, and the ability to work outside in all weather on potentially rugged terrain, is a must. Familiarity with hand and/or power tools, and/or some experience with trail work, are a bonus but not required. Wear weather-appropriate clothing that can get dirty/muddy and sturdy work or hiking boots; bring water bottle, work gloves, lunch, as well as sunscreen, bug repellent and rain protection as needed. This is an occasional opportunity and days and times will vary; see the park's calendar of events for specifics or call the park office if you would prefer to organize a workday for your group or individually. The water trails also require periodic maintenance much like the land trails. Organized group clean-up days are scheduled throughout the year (see park calendar of events) or call the park office if you would like to work on this type of project independently.
