Did you know that there is a great chance that volunteers - people just like you - are responsible for stewarding your favorite hiking trail?
This program will highlight how hikers can make a huge difference by volunteering on their favorite trails in the region in a variety of ways.
Leaders from trail organizations in the region will be on hand to talk about their trails, how volunteers build and maintain them, and specific volunteer needs they have. Specific trails to be covered include the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT), Border Route Trail (BRT), Kekekabic Trail (KEK), North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT), Ice Age National Scenic Trail (IAT), and other BWCAW hiking trails.
