Trail Maintenance Workshop

 Registration is closed for this event
Are you interested in becoming a Trail Maintainer? Attend this workshop to learn how to maintain a trail!

Join our volunteers to gain or brush up on the skills necessary to become a volunteer Trail Maintainer! 

Trail maintainers visit their trails 3 to 4 times each year to ensure the trails are clearly marked and free of obstacles to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all trail users.

This involves using small hand tools to clip and cut brush out of the trail, removing debris from drainage structures, painting or hanging trail markers, and reporting on the conditions of the trail.

After we go over the basics of trail maintenance, you will get a chance to practice maintaining a trail!

Please come prepared with:

  • Mask

  • Work gloves

  • Glasses or sunglasses for eye protection

  • Plenty of water

  • Lunch and snacks

  • Long pants

  • Sturdy, closed-toe shoes

  • Clippers, loppers, or a handsaw if you have them

 

Spare tools will be provided for those who don't have them. 

 

Volunteers for this workshop must be at least 18 years of age or older to participate.

 

The rain date for the workshop will be August 27.
