SUMMARY:Shenandoah National Park\, VA - Volunteer Vacation 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join American Hiking Society at the first of Virginia’s National Parks and part of the Blue Ridge Mountains\, Shenandoah National Park! This national park is home to over 200\,000 acres of protected lands.  \nWith over 500 miles of trails\, elevation ranging from 550 feet to over 4\,000\, and diverse flora and fauna\, Shenandoah National Park provides ample opportunity to become immersed in the beauty of the outdoors.Volunteers will work alongside the park’s volunteer and trails office to cut back vegetation along popular trails in the north district of Shenandoah National Park. Volunteers will assist with lopping\, weed whipping\, and removing fallen trees from various trails. Volunteers will be driven to trailheads. The distance for the project sites will be variable and may be up to an hour. The hosts will provide transportation. \nDuring this trip\, Shenandoah National Park’s average high temperature is 81°\, and average low temperature is 62°. \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 Monacan\, Shawandasse Tula (Shawanwaki/Shawnee)\, and Manahoac 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:Shenandoah National Park\, VA - Volunteer Vacations 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join this project to help Shenandoah National Park ensure it’s most popular trails are safe and user-friendly for over 100\,000 visitors annually! Just 75 miles from the bustle of Washington\, D.C.\, Shenandoah National Park is a land bursting with cascading waterfalls\, spectacular vistas\, fields of wildflowers\, and quiet wooded hollows. With over 200\,000 acres of protected lands that are haven to deer\, songbirds\, and black bear\, there’s so much to explore and enjoy. \nVolunteers will work on a variety of trails in Shenandoah National Park’s Central District. Trails will pass through woodlands as spring flowers begin to bloom and cross ridgelines with views of the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. Difficulty will vary from strenuous\, exposed\, steep mountain terrain to moderate\, forested\, rolling hills. Projects will ensure trails are inviting and user-friendly by clearing vegetation\, installing and maintaining trail structures\, and mitigating water damage through the maintenance of water bars and other water drainage structures. Volunteers may use loppers\, weed whips\, mcleods\, pick mattocks\, and rakes.  \nVolunteers will be transported from the campsite to the trailhead where work will begin each day. They will travel\, carrying work tools\, along the trail to work up to 6 miles in a day. Terrain is often steep and rocky with elevation changes up to 2\,000 feet in day. \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.
