Join the Trail Crew

Sign the volunteer waiver form. You need to sign a new waiver every year, prior to working on the trails.

Email the STA Trail Manager to explain your proposed volunteering effort. The STA Trail Manager needs to approve your trail work before it occurs. They will let you know of additional work parties you can join.
