full-day workshop to learn and apply new Trail Maintenance standards to the Appalachian Trail on Saturday, April 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. near the town of Pearisburg, VA.  

 

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities available throughout the Trail but one fun way to volunteer is to help with trail maintenance. Essential trail maintenance helps protect natural resources and improves the hiking experience. After grasping the basics, participants will be ready to join future work trips with A.T. maintaining clubs, or even adopt their own section of the Trail to maintain.  

 

You gain valuable skills and conservation experience while alongside a welcoming community of dedicated individuals, benefit from a light workout, and get quality time outside as you make the A.T. a better place.
