Greetings volunteers!

It’s time to improve our trails! This Chapter Stewardship Workday features light activities for many hands of all skill levels.

This workday will be Saturday, June 10th, meeting at the South Ferry Landing starting at 9:00 am, to enhance the hiker experience. We plan to work until about 12:00pm but come for as much or as little time as you can give. Watch for the yellow Ice Age Trail Event signs.

Our tasks for the day will be to clear the trail corridor as needed; We will focus on pulling Dame’s Rocket and Garlic Mustard on Steenbock, as well as, refreshing blazes.

All the tools will be provided, just wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, bring some water, wear sunscreen, work gloves (we’ll have extras to use), and your energetic attitude!

Questions? Contact Ken at kengel617@comcast.net or 847-687-0527.

As a valued volunteer with the Ice Age Trail, we thank you. We want you to know of an important action you need to take to ensure that you have a completed Individual Volunteer Agreement established with the National Park Service for continuing your valued work on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The volunteer agreement guarantees that you have access to important safety information and work guidance. The volunteer agreement also extends the same protections to you for injury coverage that federal employees receive, should you become injured while performing approved volunteer activities.
