SUMMARY:Trinity River National Wildlife\, TX - Volunteer Vacation 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join this project and help maintain access to a trail system that winds through bayous\, oxbow lakes\, privet swamps\, and cypress-tupelo swamps! Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge is home to 22 actively-managed trails. They are styled as primitive trails to give the visitors ‘a walk in the woods’ type of experience. Paseo de los Patos Trailhead\, located at the scenic Champion Lake Public Use area\, is home to our newest 2 miles of trails where an interpretive Scat Exhibit can be found along the trails. The Knobby Knees Trailhead located at the edge of Liberty Municipal park is the gateway to 9 miles of rustic trails\, including shoreline vistas of the Trinity River. Finally the Great’s Egret’s Ridge Trailhead\, 7 miles of trails\, leads to mysterious oxbows and meandering bayous.  \nVolunteers will focus on work on Knobby Knees Trail and Great Egret Ridge Trail. The refuge will provide a truck for official use to drive between the worksite\, office\, and housing. Longest driving distance will be 22 miles. \nDuring this trip\, Trinity River National Wildlife’s average high temperature is 73°\, and average low temperature is 51°. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here. \nAHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Ishak (Atakapa) and Akokisa peoples past and present. We honor the land itself\, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations\, their deep and sacred connection to these lands\, and those who continue to steward these lands today. We offer this land acknowledgement as the first of many steps to stand as an ally and amplify Indigenous voices. We invite the American Hiking Society community to join us through continued efforts to support Indigenous communities and learn more about the history of the lands on which we live\, work and recreate. \nClick here for a PDF of trip details.

SUMMARY:Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge\, WA - Volunteer Vacation 2024
DESCRIPTION:DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT: Spend two amazing weeks contributing to the improvement of trails in Washington through consecutive Volunteer Vacations. Team up with Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge and Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge for a joint expedition. Interested in participating in two trips? The initial trip registration costs $425\, while subsequent trips have a registration fee of $375 each. \nHidden between the foothills of the Cascades and the Rocky Mountains\, this unique\, forested\, mountainous Refuge provides habitat for large mammals like bears\, deer\, elk\, and moose as well as over 200 species of birds. Join the opportunity to support trail work at Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge and explore almost 43\,0000 acres of this wildlife preserve. \nMaintenance at Bear Creek Connector trail will expand opportunities for visitors to experience Little Pend Oreille’s iconic pine woodlands alongside some of the largest restored grassland ecosystems on the refuge. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut approximately 2 miles of trail in largely flat terrain\, with brush clearing necessary along portions of the route. Some trail signage may be deployed during the project period and mechanical weed control along routes\, which volunteers may be asked to assist with. The Mill Butte trail is a 4-mile loop near refuge headquarters that requires seasonal clearing of brush and fallen woody debris. If work on the Bear Creek Connector trail is completed early\, volunteers will conduct maintenance on the Mill Butte Trail. Volunteers will be driven to the worksite\, which is less than a mile from the bunkhouse and accessible via maintained gravel road. \nDuring this trip\, Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge’s average high temperature is 58°\, and average low temperature is 38°. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week.

SUMMARY:Kenai National Wildlife Refuge\, AK - Volunteer Vacations 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join this project to conduct trail work with some of the best views possible\, including glaciers\, mountain vistas\, and the turquoise Kenai River. Not to mention the chance to see some of the refuge’s wildlife\, including moose\, caribou\, brown and black bear\, mountain goats\, Dall sheep\, lynx\, wolves\, coyotes\, furbearers\, and thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl! The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is just one of more than 500 units of the national refuge system but it stands out as a very special place among special places! The hunting and fishing traditions that helped create the Refuge in 1941 still flourish\, but so do enhanced opportunities for hiking\, camping\, canoeing\, and wildlife watching. The scenic wonders of the Kenai Mountains\, the glaciers of the Harding Ice Field and the turquoise-colored waters of the Kenai River make for an ideal place for a Volunteer Vacation doing trail work.  \nProject work will occur on a variety of day-use trails within the Skilak Lake Recreation Area. Work will include routine brushing of the trail corridor as well as 1-2 enhancement construction projects. Projects may include 1) constructing short trail re-routes\, switchbacks or climbing turns\, 2) construction of rock or timber stairs and/or 3) construction and/or rehabilitation of erosion control or drainage structures. Volunteers will drive to a trail head either by provided van or boat and then start working on the trail by hiking to the project site. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace.

SUMMARY:Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nTrinity River National Wildlife Refuge is situated in a bottomland hardwood forest. Volunteers will be working on trail maintenance on the Knobby Knees and Great Egret Ridge Trails. These trails offer scenic views of symphonies of knobby knees peeking through the silent\, still waters of the backwood swamps\, Spanish moss hanging overhead in the bald cypress trees\, and\, if one is quiet enough\, alligators and other fauna peering back from the waters below Palmer Bayou Boardwalk. While the trails in the project areas total 16 miles\, this particular Volunteer Vacation will involve approximately 12 miles\, in total\, with no more than 5 miles of hiking per day. Tasks include removing fallen vegetation and limbs from the trail and trimming vegetation that could scratch or pose other inconveniences to hikers. Additional tasks may include cleaning kiosks and starting construction on an additional 3 miles of new trail. Trail construction consists of building a trail 5-8 feet wide where limb and vegetation removal will be the main focus. The project area is relatively flat. Very easy hiking.
