Volunteer
Our trails don’t happen by accident, they’re built by community.
We continually need motivated people to help build and maintain our trail network. There are dozens of opportunities all summer long, with a huge variety of required skill sets. If you like to be outside, work hard, meet new people, and have a good time doing it - trail work is for you.
The volunteer trail crews make up the heart and soul of COGGS.
