About this Opportunity

Trail crew volunteers work together to perform general trail maintenance on a variety of trails throughout the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. Volunteers learn how to construct and maintain various types of trails. They build trail drainage structures, construct tread, use primitive tools in wilderness areas, clear vegetation and get in great shape! A skilled supervisor will assist the crew. Volunteer housing available.

Housing could consist of either a full hook up campsite for volunteers with their own RV or shared housing in a 3 bedroom/1 bath facility. If housing is provided, we request a minimum of 24 hours of work per week. 

Mt Rogers NRA partners with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.  If you are interested in volunteering for the AT, or for additional information about this opportunity, please contact  Viviana Ruiz, Partnerships, Volunteers and Service Coordinator at [email protected] or  at (276) 781-3392.
