Spend a day as part of our trail crew! Please wear a tie-dye shirt, NO sandals. Volunteers will work under the direction of trail crew staff in smaller work crews to complete general maintenance. Tasks associated with general maintenance involves many aspects of trail work which could include: removing vegetation along trail corridors, cleaning rolling grade dips, removing berms, filling-in eroded sections of trail, building rock structures, lifting heavy rocks/buckets, pushing wheelbarrows, moving slash to close unauthorized trails, digging, shoveling, smashing and crushing rocks or any other fun task needed to maintain a trail. Doing this type of work involves hiking up to 4 miles while carrying hand tools and supplies needed for the day. Project level is difficult. Volunteers will need to bring: Sun protection (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen) Work gloves (some will be provided) Wear sturdy close-toed shoes Wear long pants as you may be working in tall grass Water & re-fillable water bottle Insect repellant Snacks Clothing appropriate for the weather Backpack (to carry it all) Hand sanitizer (optional) Wear tie-dye!
