We will use hand tools to clear blowdowns and repair treadway damage in a designated wilderness section of the AT. No trail maintenance experience is necessary. We will carpool from Blacksburg. Additional volunteer work days will be added as progress conditions warrant.
Location
25 miles west of Blacksburg on the border between Virginia and West Virginia. The Peter's Mountain Wilderness ridge line is the most western portion of the AT.
