Want to volunteer to help maintain the Pacific Crest Trail this summer?  Then check out the Pacific Crest Trail Association’s website where a variety of projects are listed in both a table and an interactive map:

http://www.pcta.org/volunteer/project-schedule/

In our local area there are projects scheduled for Deadfall Lakes, Toad Lake, Soapstone, Section “O” and Soda Creek.  These work projects range from a single day of trail maintenance, up to 10 days of camping out while working. The regional groups coordinating these work parties include Lyons’ Pride, the NorCal Trail Crew, and the American Conservation Experience (ACE) crews.

For more information contact our local PCTA representative Ian Nelson at inelson@pcta.org or phone him at 541-778-3252.
