Intro to Trail Maintenance

The Mid Oregon section of the PCT was hit hard by wildfires this year so we’re preparing for a busy trail maintenance season next year.

Trails in the burned areas will need our help! Pacific Crest Trail Association and other trail maintenance groups will need new volunteers, and we’ll also need experienced volunteers ready to step up and become leaders.

This 2-hour classroom session is geared towards people NEW to trail work. We’ll start out with a short presentation on the condition of trails (especially the PCT and connectors) in the Three Sisters and Mt Jefferson post-fire areas. We’ll then discuss basic types of trail work and the tools we use to do it. We’ll conclude by explaining how our volunteer trail maintenance program works and how you can get involved.

It will take place at the Deschutes National Forest Service office in the Ponderosa Conference Room. (Please do NOT enter via the main entrance.)

We hope you can join us! Please email with any questions: midoregon@pcta.org
