New Hampshire Trail Crew


One Day — That's all we ask

People are getting the message when they pass volunteer trail crews who are working on the trail or read it in AMC Outdoors and other publications. If you're using trails for recreation (hiking, biking, skiing, whatever) you should also contribute to their maintenance. Where do you recreate? Who maintains those trails? If you don't know, ask.

We do everything from digging in the dirt, clipping branches and painting blazes, to moving rocks, building steps, changing and building trails. Every project is different and has work for folks with all abilities and experiences (including none). We teach you everything you need to know — and why. Come join us to learn how and why the trails in the northeast are some of the best maintained in the country, and to meet and be the people responsible for them.

You can learn about upcoming trips and other events:  just join our Yahoo! discussion group.

Just one day a year is all that's necessary if everyone pitches in. But don't be surprised that you find trail work as fun, creative, interesting and compelling as the rest of us who return time and time again. The work is lots of fun — if it weren't, none of us would do it!
