If you enjoy working in the woods and have some time to spare, please consider joining the CTA’s Trail Chiefs and other volunteers in our annual effort to clear our backcountry zones and the Catamount Trail of blow-downs, branches, and brush.
When participating on a trail work day please come prepared. Consider bringing a lunch, water, long pants, work gloves, hiking boots, and a pair of loppers or a handsaw. Bring or wear blaze orange as many of these dates occur during hunting season. Bring a friend, give back to the trails you enjoy, and help CTA and our Chapters provide trail users with great experiences this winter.
Below is our list of upcoming trail days. Please always contact the trail work host in advance to confirm meeting times and locations, as they are subject to change.
Thank you for your interest in helping the CTA and our Chapters with trail work days!
