This Opportunity is for working on the park trails. Opportunities exist for both trail work and trail monitoring.
Note: When responding to this opportunity, please use the "additional notes" field to provide availability, preference for trail crew or trail monitoring, and a short description of relevant experience, skills, or certifications.
The volunteers who maintain the 37 miles of hiking and equestrian trails at Nockamixon State Park are a busy and hardworking crew, with tasks that include chainsawing to remove downed trees, maintaining and repairing trailhead boards and directional signs, painting trail markers, weed whacking, mowing, scything, and trimming.
On occasion, we take on special projects such as building bridges or rehabbing sections of trail. We wouldn’t be able to do the work if not for the extensive equipment and machinery that help us get the job done.
We are kept very busy and the work can be challenging, but being on the trail with our wonderful team of workers is a worthwhile experience – not to mention a great workout!
In addition to trail crew workdays, we also have opportunities for volunteers to monitor trails on their own schedule. Monitors walk assigned trails on a regular basis, making note of trail conditions and reporting any hazards or issues.
After responding to this opportunity, your application will be reviewed by our Trail Crew Coordinators, and you will receive further communication via email or phone.
