Join on Tuesdays and become a regular member of the Ridge Runner Trail Crew on the newly established primitive hiking trail system at Mill Ridge Park in Antioch, TN. As volunteer trail crew members continue to work tirelessly to mark, measure, brush, and build features along the trail system in anticipation of our grand opening. Tasks will vary by the season, but will often include instructed outdoor tasks along hiking trails such as:
- Brushing and removal of vegetation to maintain an appropriate trail corridor spacing
- Marking and measuring of trails to ensure accurate mapping
- Preparation and creation of trail markers, as well as informational signage
- Small-scale invasive species removal projects
- Creation and maintenance of water features (water bars/drainage dips) to prevent soil erosion
Volunteers should dress for applicable weather conditions. We recommend pants and shoes with adequate tread suitable for outdoor activity on rough, uneven terrain. Snacks, drinks, and any necessary tools/supplies will be provided. Sunscreen and bug spray are available. A portable toilet is accessible on-site.
