Planned Trail and Carriage Road Work Locations for Volunteers

Drop-in Stewardship Volunteer Program projects are organized for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the first week of June through mid-October. All are welcome — no experience or reservations required!

This year’s volunteer meeting location will again be at the Hulls Cove Storage Facility, near the Visitor Center (same location as last year while Park HQ is under construction). (Note: there is an “authorized vehicles only” as well as a “do not enter” sign, but if you are there to volunteer just continue past those!) Find more details and directions on our FAQ page.

Projects are posted here every Thursday for the following week.
