The Continental Divide Trail Coalition has announced the opening of public registration for volunteer field projects in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. CDTC partners with federal agencies and organizations to expand on federal reach in building and maintaining trails, according to a release from CDTC.
The projects will range in length—from one to five days–and span across the five Rocky Mountain states.
“Field-based volunteer stewardship projects are a cornerstone of the work we do, and volunteers are at the heart of these efforts,” CDTC Executive Director Teresa Martinez stated in the release. “While the goal is to maintain the trails, our volunteer stewardship efforts allow us to connect with communities along the CDT. Many of our volunteers are people who live, work, and play in the CDT landscape.”
Volunteers logged 1,800 hours maintaining the CDT In 2023 according to the release. “CDTC emphasizes that experience with trail work is not required, and their Field Crew Leaders come equipped to lead the projects and teach new skills,” the release stated, emphasizing the range of tasks in the various projects.
