Love your Community Forest? Be a Volunteer Trail Steward!
Volunteer Trail Stewards (VTS) is a grassroots program of the Humboldt Trails Council (www.humtrails.org). Stewards serve as community eyes and ears whenever they are out walking, running or riding the trail. Stewards also call in safety hazards, pick up litter and report camping or inappropriate use but are not the police. In addition, about once a month Stewards host a Saturday morning work session where volunteers work with City staff on a trail project. This may be brushing back a section of trail, rebuilding a wash-out, removing exotic plants or improving signage. No prior experience or tools are required; the only qualification is willingness. For more information or to volunteer email hughes@ humboldt.edu.
