Trail Work Opportunities
Trail work (i.e., building and maintenance) is our main volunteer activity. You do not have to be a seasoned trail worker to join us as we have many experienced “trail bosses” who can help you get started and guide you along. While you have to be reasonably fit to hike to the work site and do the work, we will often have brushing work (removing encroaching madrone limbs and poison oak) that involves nothing more than clipping with loppers.
We need people like you to come out and help us create and maintain trails for today and for future generations. It’s a great way to meet new people, see Ashland’s trails, and get some exercise. Come on and join us!
Join our email list (below) and/or Facebook for last minute info. Come early to fill out once-a-year waivers if you haven’t already.
Typical general info:
BRING: Gloves, water, snacks (optional), sturdy footwear.
Beer and pizza to follow: AWTA may be sponsoring beer and pizza after (location to be announced).
Stuff to know:
- This may be on side-slopes.
- This can be hard work.
- There may be poison oak.
- AWTA will provide tools (but you have to carry them up and down).
- We’ll divide into groups; each group will have an experienced “trail boss” with them to provide instruction about how to proceed. You do not need to be an experienced trail builder.
