Trail Mix, Inc.’s Trail Stewards program enables volunteers to be active participants in maintaining and caring for Juneau’s 250+ miles of world-class trail. Volunteers will assist Trail Mix in keeping trails safe, accessible, and looking great by adopting a trail for the duration of our work season.
Groups interested in joining our Trail Stewards program can submit an application here. No prior trail work experience is necessary! Groups will be contacted for scheduling trail volunteer day(s), which typically takes place Saturday mornings from 9am to 3pm during the trail season (April – September). Trail Mix will provide 1-2 staff members to support the volunteer day. Trail Steward groups will get recognition in our annual trail reporting and are foundational to maintaining our trail system.
In order to apply, groups are required to have:
Trail Stewards will complete four workdays during the summer. Workdays could include projects such as rerouting a trail, improving tread conditions, adding retention and gravel, repairing drainage, and revegetating sections of the trail. Work is completed through the use of basic hand tools–many of which you have probably already used! We also occasionally use power tools and machinery. No prior experience is necessary and we will teach all trail-related skills.
