These trails have come to exist only because of the dedication of many volunteers. These volunteers do everything from identifying possible routes, to negotiating land acquisition, to public relations, to trail clearing, trash removal, ongoing maintenance, sign-making, and landscaping, to newsletter production and office activities. All the trail councils depend on volunteers for trail development, publicity, and other activities. They need your time and energy. Your favorite trail has something for you to do. Please use our information request form to volunteer.
