We have one or two trail maintenance events (aka "work parties")
a month to keep the trail clear and safe and protect the surrounding environment. The work varies depending on the season and condition of the trail. Volunteers can expect to be raking and clearing debris, digging and reshaping the trail to promote good drainage, cutting back vegetation, pulling invasive weeds, cleaning up graffiti. We have the tools and will provide whatever training may be necessary. Please plan to dress for whatever the weather may bring. Wearing layers is a good idea, since the conditions tend to change throughout the course of the day. Long pants and hiking or work boots (preferably the kind that cover your ankles) are a necessity. Bring work gloves, a lunch and plenty of drinking water. |
Work parties typically meet at one of the Cape Horn Trail parking areas, at 9:45 am, begin at 10:00 am, and last until about 3:00pm. To see the current schedule, available spots, and sign up for a work party click on the button below.
Since we work as a group and need to account for everyone's safety, we ask that you try to avoid the need to leave early or come late. Details about what we'll be working on, and where we'll be meeting are sent out to you via email a week or two before an event. Email any questions to info@capehornconservancy.org |
