Trail Crew Volunteers
46r Trail Crew volunteers:
It is time to sign up for this year's trail maintenance projects. As you can see, we are planning an aggressive schedule! The work never ends and those woods need your strong backs and good humor. Please do not feel any pressure to do more outings than suit your schedule and life. One reason we set up this many outings is to provide more individual days to volunteer.
Please use our online sign-up form: https://tinyurl.com/Trail-Crew-Signup-2021. If you have problems using the online form, please reach out via e-mail: adk46ertrailwork@gmail.com (but please sign up on-line if at all possible). Come out and have fun as often as you can!
Before signing up, we ask you to review and understand the 46R Volunteer Liability Waiver: https://tinyurl.com/46R-VOLUNTEER-LIABILITY-WAIVER.
We look forward to seeing your smiling face and strong muscles in the woods. As always, THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING!
