About the Event

Celebrate National Trails Day here at Mount A by helping to build a boardwalk while learning about our Adopt-A-Trail program! Volunteers will learn hands-on dimensional lumber construction techniques to replace a 40ft multi-use boardwalk. Boardwalks and bridges prevent wet feet, protect trails from erosion, and provide essential search and rescue access.

Project location will involve hiking up to 1.5 miles total. Work will include demolition, moving heavy planking, and installing new decking. No experience necessary! Registration for this event is required.

What to bring

Please bring your daypack, hiking/work boots, water bottle, insect repellent and work gloves (we have spare gloves if you don’t have any). Tools and equipment will be provided. Light snacks and refreshments follow the event.
