November Volunteer Wrap Up

We had 20 cool cats come on out to the Wormhole last month for 2nd Saturday Trail work, including a couple young guns and new faces.

Work focused on remediating erosion damage on the southern end of Crossbed Trail, with the creation of new rolling grade dips and tread repairs. We also had a group head up the mesa top for some lopping / corridor clearing, and our teen volunteers helped Jenn water and pack the surface of the pump track.

Thank you everyone for your hard work!

Save the Date: 2025 TTA & PWP Volunteer Appreciation Party!

Help us celebrate our TTA/PWP river and trail volunteers and stewards!
