TRAIL STEWARDS

Trail Stewards adopt a section of trail and serve as an advocate for it.   The current list of Trail Stewards is shown below.  Club membership is not a requirement for Trail Stewards--anybody with a passion for the trail can be a Trail Steward.  Trail Stewards walk through their assigned section several times a year and report major maintenance items needing attention.  They will also carry out light maintenance.  We encourage Trail Stewards to participate in larger maintenance projects (mowing, drainage control, tree removal).  

Please note that we try to have TWO trail stewards for each section.  This gives you a little extra help; you'll have flexibility for shuttling when you do a once-through trail survey; and you'll get to share your appreciation for the forest with a like-minded volunteer.  If you are interested in becoming a Trail Steward (or a second Trail Steward), Contact Us and indicate what available section you are interested in.  

Why would you want to be a trail steward?

  • You get to focus on a section of trail that appeals to you--and you help make it better.
  • There is a feeling of ownership and sweat equity in that section of trail. 
  • You are making the trail just that much better for other hikers.  They won't notice that log you dragged off the trail, or those vines you cleared, or those additional markers you placed, but they will enjoy the forest a little more.  
  • You are joining a group of dedicated trail volunteers--there is community among our trail advocates.
  • You will provide our maintenance teams with valuable field observations, so we can plan and prioritize team-based workdays. 
  • You get to be outside!
