The Armstrong/Austin Creek Trail Crew has been assisting State Parks with trail maintenance, bridge building and other important projects since 1993. This active group of men and women of all ages and abilities comes together monthly to tackle stewardship projects in both Armstrong Redwoods and Austin Creek.
Tasks: The assignment for the day may be working in the grove repairing fences or cleaning up and ensuring the safety of the trails. Other days, they may take their lunches with them to the beautiful backcountry in Austin Creek for a day of trail maintenance. Read the Armstrong Trail Crew duty statement for a complete description.
Meeting times: The crew meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 9:00 AM in front of the Stewards’ Volunteer Office. Depending on the project volunteers can expect to work a shift of up to 6 hours. Occasionally, when there is work needing immediate attention or more work than can be preformed during a single session there may be multiple sessions a month. It is up to you what days you want to attend.
Training and requirements: New volunteers are required to attend one of the General Orientation Sessions offered during the year. No formal training or previous experience is required. All new volunteers are required to complete and turn in a hard copy of the New Volunteer Onboarding Packet prior to or on their first day as a volunteer. Although attending a General Orientation is a requirement you do not need to do this prior to attending your first work day, just make sure to attend one sometime this year. Read our Volunteer Handbook for more information about becoming a volunteer.
