We’re a fan of this Ways To Give Back Trails series by @hikewithrebeca! There’s so many ways we can help out and give back to the trails! Check out her profile and Reels for more ways. If you’re down 🙋‍♀️ to get down and dirty for these places here’s a little bit about trail maintenance! “Trail maintenance can mean a lot of things, but generally it is improving the trail experience for all users... no matter how you like getting outside!” Trail maintenance often involves: ⛏ Working on the trail thread (the area on the trail that is stepped on) 💧 Helping to clear out drains to help with erosion 🌱 Cutting back or removing plants to have a clear trail corridor Ready to help out?
