- Volunteers can expect daily assignments to run 8AM-4PM, Monday-Friday.

Tasks will vary substantially day by day, but include hiking, kayaking, or using a motored skiff to maintain 15+ miles of trail, kayak portages, and public use cabins. Trail work includes clearing, brushing, and raking trails as well as, trail sign installs and replacement, bridge and boardwalk building and repair.
