The Land Trust is so thankful for our amazing corps of dedicated volunteers! Day in and out they help make the work of conserving and caring for the land possible. This month we wanted to shine a light on the group of folks who help keep our Preserve trails in great shape, the Trail Stewards!
Trail Stewards are a group of individuals who volunteer their time from April-October to ensure our trails are tended and ready for visitors. They regularly visit an adopted Preserve and segment of trail to make sure trails are open and passable for our community. Rakes and loppers in hand, they cut small branches that hang too low, pick up trash, pull weeds, and rake a LOT of pine needles. They log some serious hours—1,146 since 2014!—and some serious mileage hiking their segments and checking on trail conditions.
“We are so thankful Trail Stewards are out at our Preserves, keeping an eye on our conditions and helping us ensure our trails are ready for exploring,” said stewardship associate Peter Cooper. “During the pandemic these volunteers were especially indispensable as they were able to keep up their solo volunteer job when other group projects were on hold and at a time when trail use was high.” A thousand thanks for your dedication and time and trail muscles!
