Volunteer for TM&C
Trail Maintenance & Construction (TM&C) volunteers typically work alternating Friday’s during non-summer months. If requested by the Forest Service, the group will occasionally work an additional day for wilderness maintenance or special projects.
TM&C volunteers perform maintenance on all trails throughout the Red Rock Ranger District. Work includes removing brush from trails, removing rocks from trails, removing trees that have fallen across trails, and improving tread, as needed. Maintenance of tread includes creating means for water to escape from trails, preventing the erosion of the trail. Sometimes trails need rock armoring or steps to enhance the tread and prevent erosion.
A sub-committee to TM&C is responsible for making and installing trail signs.
Some of the requested special project work has included building, repairing or removing fences; establishing or improving access paths to cultural sites; removing of trailhead trash, and the cleanup of public picnic areas.
Tools and training are provided, so no experience is necessary.
