Volunteer News

Due to complications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic TRTA activities and schedules are constantly evolving. Please visit TahoeRimTrail.org, call us at 775.298.4485, or email us at Info@tahoerimtrail.org for the latest information.

Volunteer and Public Trainings All trainings in April and May have been canceled or postponed. Some trainings remain on the calendar (for now) or have been tentatively rescheduled as noted below.

Map & Compass 102 Location TBD June 27, 2020 This course will teach you one of the most basic and essential outdoor skills- navigation with map and compass.

Crew Leader Training Stateline, NV June 27-28, 2020 This training is geared towards those who have previously volunteered on TRTA trail crews and are interested in taking on a leadership role during volunteer trail crew workdays.

Guided Adventures Like many organizations, the TRTA is taking measures to keep our volunteers, participants, staff, and community safe. While we hope to host a robust 2020 guided on-trail program this season, we, like many others, will wait and see what these next couple months hold and what is possible.

Stay tuned! Stay connected!

Trail Crews TRTA is planning to run volunteer trail crews on both North and South Shore projects most Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays throughout the summer and fall if it is safe and prudent to do so given developing pandemic conditions. In addition, several weekend volunteer camps are planned, including camps in Spooner Backcountry, Desolation Wilderness, and Watson Lake.

Backpacking 101 Stateline & Showers Lake June 27-28, 2020 Join us for a two-day/one-night introductory backpacking course designed to teach learn essential skills and techniques to keep you safe and comfortable while backpacking.
