Volunteer
Volunteer on the CDT and give back to the trails you love.
Volunteers Are The Heart Of Our Work To Maintain The CDT
Through volunteering, build a deeper connection to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail landscape, connect with a trail community, and make a lasting impact for future generations of trail adventurers. No experience is necessary to join us on these projects – just a willingness to work hard and get a little dirty!
