    Want to help keep the trails in DuPont Forest in top condition year round?

    If you can hike or ride the trails -- you've got what it takes to make a difference on our trails.

    Many hands make light work --- especially when it comes to routine preventive trail maintenance.

    To help protect and preserve the hard work done by the DuPont Trail Crew, DSRF Recreation Team, and outside contractors -- we're developing more opportunities that require less manual labor and offer more flexible hours so that people of all ages, abilities, and availability can get involved and give back to our trails.

    HINT: If you can pick up a stick that is blocking a trail drain or carry someone else's water bottle or leaf blower fuel bottle - we can use your help!

    • Flexible volunteer hours
    • Light work
    • Be safe, have fun, and do a little trail maintenance while we're out enjoying the Forest.
    • Tools and training provided. 

    How can you get involved?

    • Help report trail conditions on your favorite trails
    • Join a small group that is maintaining your favorite trail
    • Volunteer as a "leaf blower buddy"
