Wild Valley Boardwalk Build
Join the SHTA and Unruly Women for a 2 day event August 21st and 23rd. This project is reserved as an all-femme event, which means all folks who are female identifying and/or femme leaning non-binary individuals. Help SHTA build new boardwalk near Wild Valley Road. Volunteers will use hand tools to prepare the site and construct the boardwalk. No experience necessary! All tools and training will be provided by SHTA. Expect 0.5 mile hike from trailhead to project. Camping and dinners provided (details will be emailed before the event). Note: State Park pass required
The SHTA is the nonprofit that manages, maintains, and promotes the Superior Hiking Trail.
For the past five years, Unruly Women has had the opportunity to partner with the Superior Hiking Trail Association to bring together incredible groups of women, femme and non-binary volunteers to help reroute and rebuild sections of the Superior Hiking Trail. Long lasting friendships have been made through these incredible experiences and of course, amazing trail work has been accomplished too!
This will be the 5th Annual SHTA + Unruly Women Trail Maintenance Weekend. As of 2024 it is considered an established program with the SHTA!! Thank you so much for your interest and participation so that we can continue this awesome trail work experience.
All tools and training will be provided by SHTA.
You do not need any prior experience in trail work, you will be taught on site and are encouraged to work within your comfort level - you will never have to do anything you’re not comfortable doing.
Campsites and dinners are provided (thank you Superior Hiking Trail Association!!)
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING and THIS EVENT:
Volunteering is a great opportunity to learn more about the areas we recreate in, about the work that goes into maintaining trail systems we use, and to not only give back to the community but to become a part of the community.
This volunteer event is free, the campsites and dinners are provided by the SHTA, and all you need is transportation to the campground, your own camping gear, food and water, and whatever else you normally bring camping.
You have the option to camp in our group sites Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, but ultimately it's up to you what works with your schedule, as long as you can make it for the 8:30am start time for each day you’ve signed up to volunteer (Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday) until 4:30pm each or either day!
Although this will be hard work, we want you to work at your own pace and take any breaks you need.
This is a beginner-friendly event. No experience is necessary. Come learn about trail maintenance in a welcoming and safe environment.
This is an event for adult women, female identifying, femme and non-binary people.
This year, youth ages 12-17 are welcome if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
