Trail Maintenance and Clean-up
Individual Events - Join a work party of FBHers and DCR staff. Tools will be supplied, just bring your hands, gloves some water and a smile. Sign up and we will contact you a month in advance of the date.
Adopt-a-Trail - It’s not just for highways and traffic islands. Contact us and choose a trail (or section of trail), or ask for a suggestion. We’ll provide training – and furnish you with a tip sheet and report form. Adoption commitments last for one year. Just let us know via snail mail or e-mail each time you work on the trail, if you need help, and the state of the trail before and afterwards.
Outreach and Events
Event Planning: Help plan events, such as work party days and other programs designed to raise awareness and garner public support for the park. Volunteers are part of a well-run committee, dedicated to accomplishing the maximum effect with the fewest number of meetings.
Adopt-a-Trail Advocate: Advocate for the Reservation among the park’s corporate constituents. Contact companies and introduce them to the program. You will be furnished with a kit, including background on the Reservation, program requirements, and sample tip sheets and reports for potential adopters.
