About Us
We are a group of ready volunteers from the general public of Central Texas and beyond who donate our time and effort to build and repair natural surface trails, including those that are ADA accessible.
Our mission is to relieve some of the burdens faced by government agencies who oversee our public parks, preserves and forests by working on approved trail construction and maintenance projects that enhance public access to and enjoyment of these special places.
We operate as a Texas 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation governed by a nine member board of directors who serve without pay.
Administrative fees are covered by our annual membership dues of $25 ($40/family), which are tax-deductible. In order to be covered by our Volunteer Insurance policy on long-distance work trips, membership is required for those wanting to participate on those trips. A small participation fee (usually $85 or less) is charged for most long-distance projects, but there is no fee for local projects.
Camping is our usual form of lodging but occasionally the host agency will provide sleeping and cooking facilities. We provide all food for long-distance projects and meals are cooked by our volunteers.
We are a reputable, non-political organization with a proven track record and anyone *18 or older can participate. (*Younger participants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
This is a great way to work on meaningful and rewarding projects in an outdoor setting and have a good time as well. What better way to give something back for all the joy that trails provide!
