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.  

SIGNUP FOR A WORK PARTY

​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

Volunteering Benefits

• ​Cape Horn Conservancy likes to reward our dedicated volunteers.  After three trail work parties, volunteers receive a short sleeve CHC t-shirt and a long sleeve shirt after 10.  We have fleece CHC vests for those who have helped on 25 or more work parties.  
• The great feeling of being part of a community dedicated to creating and maintaining a world-class trail
• A fun and rewarding time working with a great group of people
