Trail Manager Training

Enjoy the outdoors and have time to share? Become a Volunteer Trail Manager for Steep Rock Association (SRA) and help care for nearly 60 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails.

Join us on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a training session for both new and returning Trail Managers. Volunteers steward a designated trail for one year, regularly checking for safety concerns, environmental issues, and performing light maintenance.

To kick off the season, SRA staff will host a one-hour indoor training, offered both in person and live on Zoom. Participants will learn how to assess trail conditions, perform basic maintenance, and use a GPS mobile app to report findings. In-person attendees will then head out for a guided hike to practice skills in the field.

Please bring hiking boots, weather-appropriate clothing, and water. Families with teens are welcome; children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. New volunteers should complete the Volunteer Registration Form in advance.
