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 Zones and the Catamount Trail of blow-downs, branches, and brush. Fall trail work days are announced and posted in late summer. Contact the appropriate Trail Chief for details on meeting times and locations. As additional work days are scheduled, they will be added to the list below.
Things You’ll Need
When participating on a trail work day please come prepared. You should 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 you will find a list of upcoming trail work days. Please always contact the trail work host in advance to confirm meeting times and locations, as they are subject to change. Additional work dates will be posted as they are scheduled.
