Do you have what it takes to work on trails?

Come join our rangers for a volunteer trail day. We will go over basic trail clearing and the proper techniques we use to promote healthy trees and foliage.

We will be hiking around 2.5 miles so please dress accordingly. Bring water, closed toe shoes, and bug spray. The park will provide tools and gloves as needed. If you have your own gear you are more than welcome to bring them!

We will be meeting at the Visitor Center parking lot and then hiking from there.

Hope to see you there!
