Volunteer

Establishing the campus trail system is possible due to the time and hands-on assistance provided by students, faculty/staff and members of the community. Help is needed to complete necessary work in remote areas of the campus trail system, and interested individuals can volunteer on particular dates throughout the year. Volunteer trail days will continue throughout the year, as long as there is no snow or precipitation, and the outside temperature remains above 32 F. 

Outdoor and Trails Volunteer Days Coming Soon!
