Become a volunteer Trail Guardian! Trail Guardians help protect our local and out-of-town trails through trail stewardship. Your help is urgently needed to keep our trails beautiful and safe. Learn important skills that take only seconds to implement, but have a lasting impact on wilderness and wildlife. These on-the-fly trail skills utilize what you bring on every hike, your hands, no heavy equipment is required.
