Join us for a morning of trail work on the Hardwood Ridge Trail!
Help us care for one of Wiessner Woods' beloved trails! We’re looking for volunteers to join us for a morning of trail work focused on repairing and replacing puncheon bridges (wooden walkways that keep hikers on the trail and out of muddy, sensitive areas).
These simple structures play a big role in protecting the land and making trails safer and more enjoyable for everyone. With your help, we’ll keep the Hardwood Ridge Trail in great shape for the years ahead.
Why Join Us?
Whether you're a seasoned trail steward or just love spending time in the woods, this is a change to roll up your sleeves and give back to the places you love. It's a short but meaningful two hours of teamwork, fresh air, and tangible impact.
We’ll provide tools and guidance—just bring sturdy shoes, water, and a readiness to dig in and make a difference!
What to Expect:
- Trail structure repair, including lifting, digging, and placing lumber
- A fun, hands-on way to support conservation in your community
- Great for individuals, friends, and families with older kids
Please Bring:
- Sturdy footwear
- Work gloves (SLT will provide a limited number of gloves)
- Water bottle, snacks, and any other materials to be comfortable with the weather conditions
RSVP is required; please use the event sign-up form below. A minimum of 5 volunteers are needed for the program to run. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
We look forward to seeing you on the trails!
