What we’ll be working on this season
This year’s work parties will include:
- Caring for and protecting native trees planted in recent seasons
- Removing invasive plants (hello, blackberry!)
- Light trail corridor maintenance and vegetation management
- Trash cleanup and seasonal stewardship priorities
We provide tools, gloves, and training. You bring sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate layers, and a willingness to get a little dirty.
New in 2026!
This year, our volunteer work parties will also highlight nearby local businesses through our Trail Love + Local Flavor initiative—celebrating the places that make our trail communities special.
Whenever possible, we’ll share a local “flavor stop” near each work party—like a farm stand, café, or small business that’s part of the fabric of that community.
Are you a local business near the Foothills Trail?
If you’d like to be featured as part of Trail Love + Local Flavor—through a shout-out, small pop-up, educational info, volunteer “thank you” offer, or simple cross-promotion—we’d love to connect.
