We are a group of ready volunteers from the general public of Central Texas and beyond who donate our time and effort to build and maintain hike & bike trails, including ADA accessible trails.
Our mission is to relieve some of the burdens faced by government agencies who oversee our public parks, preserves and forests by working on approved trail construction and maintenance projects that enhance public access to and enjoyment of these special places.
We operate as a Texas 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation governed by a nine member board of directors who serve without pay.
Administrative fees, including cost of a quarterly newsletter, are covered by our annual membership dues of $25 ($40/family), which are tax-deductible. A small participation fee (usually $75 or less) is charged for most long-distance projects. No fee is charged for local projects.
Camping is our usual form of lodging but sometimes the host agency provides sleeping and cooking facilities. We provide all food for long-distance projects and meals are cooked by our volunteers.
We are a reputable, non-political organization with a proven track record and anyone *18 or older can participate. (*Younger participants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
This is a great way to work on meaningful and rewarding projects in an outdoor setting and have a good time as well. What better way to give something back for all the joy that trails provide!
