Become A Volunteer

Each year, thousands of volunteers donate tens of thousands of hours toward making the Ice Age Trail a premier hiking trail. Volunteers are the heart, soul, hands and backbone of the Ice Age Park & Trail Foundation. Thanks to their enormous efforts, over 600 Trail miles exist so far. But a great deal of work remains before the Ice Age Trail is complete.
           
Ice Age Trail volunteers build trail, bridges and boardwalks, restore and manage prairies and savannas, coordinate fundraisers, lead hikes and field trips, hold monthly meetings, handle local community relations, monitor easements, remove invasive exotic plants, create and post signs and perform a host of other important duties along the Trail.
           
Sound like fun? You betcha! Our volunteers work hard, but events are designed to be safe and enjoyable. Many long-term friendships, even marriages, have begun on the Ice Age Trail.
