Saturday Trail Stewardship Day - September

  • 17934 Co Rd 30 Ironton, MN, 56455 United States (map)

Want to help take care of the trails in Cuyuna? Join us for a scheduled Saturday volunteer opportunity with the Crew.

These Saturdays are designed for coordinated trail work, volunteer training, and group service opportunities. Individual volunteers, new volunteers, returning volunteers, businesses, organizations, clubs, teams, and VTO groups are all welcome.

RSVP is required at least 5 days in advance so we can plan projects, tools, meeting locations, and volunteer support ahead of time.

Businesses, organizations, clubs, teams, and VTO groups are welcome to request a scheduled group workday. This helps us match your group with the right project and make sure we have the support needed for a successful day on the trails.

Individual volunteers are welcome, too. If you can’t make our regular group workdays but still want to help, this is a great way to get connected, learn what approved solo trail work can look like, and find the best fit for your schedule and experience.

No experience is needed unless noted. We’ll provide tools, basic instruction, and help you get plugged in.
