Volunteer Opportunities & Recognition


Thank you to our amazing community of volunteers who devote their time, energy and funds to build and maintain the trails we all enjoy.

While most group volunteer opportunities have canceled or put on hold, we appreciate everyone who has continued to contribute their time and energy to maintaining and building our incredible trails. Please look for new trail days coming soon!

Removing invasive species is an easy way to help while you’re out on the trails, and veteran Trail Coordinator Mike Flack has some guidance on identifying and irradicating them in this great MCMBA YouTube video.
