How Volunteer Trail Maintenance Helps<\/h1>\n

Volunteers are essential to trail clearing and support the work of seasonal trail crew. Inspecting, hand-trimming, clearing litter or fire pits, and maintaining drainage water bars are all carried out on volunteer events organized by the East Coast Trail Volunteer Maintenance Committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

From late spring to early fall, we invite volunteers aged 16 and up to help maintain the trail on energized weekend outings. No advance training or experience is required to participate, as all outings are supervised by experienced volunteers and instruction on the East Coast Trail Standards for maintenance is given to newcomers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Volunteer Trail Maintenance Outings are posted to our <\/span>events calendar<\/b>.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
