The Poverty Creek Trails Coalition is an all-volunteer group that works to maintain, improve, and expand local natural trails in our area. Trail building can be strenuous work, but you don't need prior experience. Children over age 12 are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.

Due to COVID-19 guidelines for physical distancing and a limited # of tools, only 8 volunteers can be accommodated during each shift. Please sign up for the either both shift here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nI5esjb1KCs05_KgL1dhAzi2jk-3zapzTZOHO-sLfTw/edit?usp=sharingDirections

Wear closed toe sturdy shoes and a bright colored shirt. Bring plenty of water and snacks for yourself.
