Get involved with your trails and their general upkeep and improvements through the use of hand tools to do a variety of things from simple trail tread shaping for erosion control, to the removal of vegetation!

Meeting Location: Galena Creek Regional Park entrance next to the NDOT maintenance station, follow road up through the park, past the restrooms, and to the fish hatchery parking lot.

Work: Finishing of recently started new trail and construction of new trail to extend the trail to a connection point. Wear long sleeves, long pants, sturdy shoes, and prepare to get dirty!
