  • A change of clothes (or at least a shirt) for the ride home

What Levels of Volunteers Do You Have?

1. General Volunteer - First time volunteers and/or occasional volunteers.

2. Trail Boss - Experienced volunteers that can lead a crew of 5 or more general volunteers. We will always have at least one trail boss at a work session.

4. Head Trail Boss - We have one Head Trail Boss for each park. 

What Kind of Work Will We Do?

During trail construction, our General Volunteers will likely be doing trail finishing work, and occasionally brush cutting / clearing:

  • Trail finish work - including raking, shoveling, root removal, feature construction and compacting
  • Brush cutting and clearing - this is the first step in trail construction - this helps clear the way for the mini ex

 

Occasionally, we'll also have the other types of needs:

  • Bridge / boardwalk / gate installation * construction - we will occasionally have construction work to do
  • Signage, cleanup and other general work - we will occasionally have other types of work like sign installation, trail cleanup, weed whipping, etc.
