Our chapter maintenance program consists of a series of workdays, or "trail improvement days" scheduled primarily on Saturdays in spring and fall.
If you are interested in helping with trail work at a work day or as a trail segment adopter, either call Jim (715 289-3672) or send an email message (see "Contact Us!" on this page).
The next trail improvement day is scheduled for Saturday, August 11. Volunteers will meet at 9:30 AM at the Chippewa Moraine Visitor Center. Bring a lunch, water, and gloves.
Trail adopters identify a segment of trail that they "adopt" for the season. It involves hiking the trail several times during the season, and identifying any maintenance needs in the section. Small maintenance is usually undertaken by the adopter, such as picking up branches across the trail, or even pulling some small trees off the trail. Other larger jobs can be noted and the information provided to Jim to be scheduled on workdays.
Trail maintenance is a major part of keeping the trail hikable and one of the chapter's major responsibilities.
