Adopt-A-Trail Volunteers

Do you want to help out in your national park? The Adopt-a-Trail Program is an opportunity for people of all ages to assist the staff of Cuyahoga Valley National Park in maintaining safe and well-groomed trails by joining a group that takes responsibility for one trail. Help "sweep" the trail by picking up litter, trimming branches, clearing culverts, and reporting trail conditions. See the schedule below for more information or click here for a pdf version of the Summer 2009 Adopt-A-Trail Schedule.
