Crew Leadership & Skills Training, Dane County |

| May 15-20 |
Ringle Segment, Marathon County | You helped open 1.7 new miles last year. This year, help take it further. Discover this “Landscape Crossroads” where ancient glacial drift meets ‘new’ Wisconsin drift – ephemeral ponds, boulder-strewn hillsides, and ice-walled lake plains harboring stones from hundreds of miles distant. This new section will be sure to inspire. | |
| June 6-9 | Harwood Lakes Segment, Chippewa County |
Old school meets new in this focused bridge/boardwalk replacement and trail reroute. Join us in the deep woods of Chippewa County as we ring in the summer hiking season by sprucing up this rustic section of Trail. Registration is capped at 40. |
|
| June 28- July 1 |
Ice Age Trail University Dane County |
Dig into the back-to-basics skills that are fundamental to the Trails purpose and success. Tread construction, Stonework, Thinking Beyond the Blaze, Trail Eyes…course details and schedule coming soon. | |
| July 19-22 |
Walla Hi Segment, Manitowoc County |
The new Walla Hi Segment opened for use in 2017, but is a half-mile shy of the road-to-road connection needed to tag this gem on your thousand-miler list. Help is needed with stonework, boardwalk construction, and vegetative management. Registration is capped at 55. |
|
| August 8-12 |
Cross Plains Segment, Dane County |
This new-trail construction party in the Village of Cross Plains celebrates community and built-to-last camaraderie. Tread, signage, stonework and trail stewardship zones will be the focus of this shindig! | |
| September | Trailwide | Stay up to date with the online calendar; find a local event to pitch in at or lend a hand with under-the-radar projects not listed on this calendar, or…breathe deep and take that long hike you’ve been wanting to enjoy! | |
| October 9-14 |
Old Railroad Segment, Langlade County |
This event is all-hands-on-deck & a HUGE opportunity! Please join us and help reroute nearly 10 miles of reimagined Ice Age Trail. This is the first MSC event to occur in the gargantuan tableau of Langlade County and promises to be fun for all. | |
