Women's Spring Trail Day

Most construction signs are labeled “men working,” but that doesn’t stop the ladies of the trail crew! We simply added the letters “WO” to this sign before we got to work at one of our newer trail sites in Marin City at the Orchard Trail.

Come work alongside members of the NPS Trail Crew in Tennessee Valley! Have you ever wondered how trails are maintained and remain easy to walk on so that you can take in the views around you while you stroll? Come find out! Grab a shovel, push a wheelbarrow, and show off your rake skills to help lay a fresh layer of tread on the Lower Tennessee Valley trail.  This space is designed to connect all women and their allies to nature. Registration required.

When: Saturday, April 12th; 9:00am-12:00pm.
