Volunteer Trail Work Half Day:
Give back to Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest by volunteering with LRCC and NCCC AmeriCorps members for a half day of trail work from 9:00am to 1:00pm! Work involves replacing, rebuilding, and installing bridge and rock structures on wet and muddy sections found throughout the trail network. Volunteers will help carry lumber to trail maintenance sites and assemble small bridge structures. The structures will reduce the impact of the trail network on the surrounding environment and make the trail network more easily accessible to hikers.
As always, this work is weather dependent. Should any changes to plans arise, we will provide updates. We encourage help from volunteers who love the outdoors, enjoy hands-on conservation work, and are excited to work with our AmeriCorps members!
What to bring:
Volunteers should bring appropriate clothing, water and food.
Youth Instructions:
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Location:
The lead for the day will contact you with information about where to meet along with any event specific information a day or two before the day of the event. The trail work will be conducted at Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest.
Lakes Region Conservation Corps
The Lakes Region Conservation Corps (LRCC) is an AmeriCorps service program that develops skills and experiences for conservation professionals. LRCC members are the driving force behind the Squam Lakes Association’s conservation efforts. The program provides hands-on conservation work experience and numerous certifications over a broad range of areas, which ensures that LRCC members are capable of independently approaching a variety of tasks in the environmental conservation field. Members remove invasive species from the Squam watershed, manage and act as caretakers at our backcountry campsites, maintain the SLA’s 50+ miles of trails, educate the public on local and regional conservation initiatives, spearhead reports on conservation efforts, lead SLA volunteer crews and ensure the daily functioning of the Squam Lakes Association’s programs.
