Weekly Preserve Trail Cleanup

Do you enjoy working with a dedicated team? Are you not afraid of getting dirty and enjoy the gratification of a hard job well done? Help us maintain 10+ miles of hiking trails across our preserves. Every Wednesday from May through September we'll gather a clean up crew, moving from preserve to preserve. Your help allows continued access to outdoor spaces by our community and is greatly appreciated.

Most work includes trimming brushes, cutting back overgrowth, snubbing invasives like multi-flora rose, and mowing. Some chainsawing may be needed.

Registration is appreciated, walk-ups are welcome.
