Maintenance is the primary mission of the Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club. NBATC maintains 90 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Central Virginia from Blackhorse Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Tye River in Nelson County. There is always a need for more maintainers!
Maintaining a nearly 2,200 mile footpath entirely with volunteers is a worthy endeavor, not to mention it is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and stay physically fit!
This is a great opportunity for a wide variety of skill levels. Volunteers will be able to work alongside experienced trail maintainers and all tools will be provided. With crews up to 19 people, new volunteers are partnered with old hands, and those who want to hike less or do lighter tasks can be accommodated as the crew splits into multiple groups.
Take this opportunity to make a difference on the Trail as well as make new friends and connections in your community.
The Wednesday Crew of the Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club (NBATC) goes out every Wednesday year around; weather permitting. Work consists of removing trees, cutting weeds, trimming brush, cleaning, building, and repairing water diversions, sidehill renovations, and whatever else is needed to keep trails in good shape. The work plan and meeting location is normally available by Monday of each week.
Participants should wear sturdy boots and long pants. Please bring plenty of water, lunch, and snacks in a small knapsack. It’s a good idea to also bring work gloves, if you have them, as well as, rain gear, bug repellent, and sun protection. Tools and hard hats will be provided. Wear or pack layers, since weather can change quickly.

Description
Appalachian Trail (A.T.) is a project built on civic engagement. It exists because people like you step up and help out in a variety of ways, outdoors or inside. Activities can be physical (such as Trail work or boundary maintenance), creative (like contributing photography or writing), or organizational (like planning or leading activities).
Volunteers gain new skills through their work. Whether you volunteer because you enjoy time in nature, want to forge new friendships, or appreciate having a deeper connection to a place you hold in high regard, we are glad you are here.
There are a variety of ways to contribute your talents and your time.
