We're a community of volunteers who build and maintain hiking trails, and we need your help!

How to Get Started

We maintain trails and help keep them open and safe for hikers like you. Apply now for a trail section of your own, or view all our on-trail opportunities.

Or choose to help off-trail.

Not sure where to start? We'd love to help you.

Workshops are usually held in the field on real trail projects.
