We still have openings available for this great opportunity!

If you still need some convincing, check out the links below to reports of some other events we have held this summer. These "work" parties really are fun. There is lots of camaraderie, new friends are made, and there is the immense satisfaction of making our neck of the woods a better place to hike.
