Interested in Trail Work?
We love trail work! But it can sometimes be hard to find nationwide resources for work that happens locally. In an effort to help, we've compiled a list of organizations across the United States that host trail work events - find an org in your area below. This is by no means a comprehensive list and we encourage you to do further research - reach out if you find a new organization to add!
Do you represent an organization that hosts trail work events and don't see your organization mentioned? Reach out to us at contact@minimalgear.com and we'll add you to our directory.
