You can get involved in a variety of ways:
Trail Maintenance/Construction
Build and install trail signs, build bridges, repair fencing, install benches, clear downed trees and branches, pull invasive weeds, or collect trash.
Public Outings Leader
These volunteers will be leading others on the trails. Outings include hiking, mountain biking, dog walks, snowshoeing, and anything else non-motorized! Outings can also be themed or educationally oriented such as history, flora, fauna, “moonlight hikes”, geology, geocaching, photography, plein art, etc. Volunteers can also lead outings specific for adults, kids, or families.
Volunteers will get to choose what type of outing they would like to lead, the time and date of the outing, and how often they would like to lead outings (even once is ok!). All volunteers will attend a volunteer orientation before the start of the outings season. Training will cover safety, flora/fauna, trail etiquette, and trail descriptions.
If you are new to the trails but would still like to volunteer, our training will include guided outings. As a public outings leader, you will be an important part in developing a stronger, healthier, more environmentally-friendly community.
Community Outreach
Staff Weber Pathways booths at various events throughout the County to distribute maps and other information. Or, make presentations on Weber Pathways to groups in the area.
Office Support
Provide office help in web site administration, data base/mail list design and maintenance, graphics arts, blog writing, and general office support.
Create your own community program, event, or activity!
There are plenty of things to do... organize a trail maintenance session, invasive weed pulling, or trash pick-up... create a flora or fauna guide... make a powerpoint of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail history and geology... organize a bike ride on the parkway... Get creative! This is a great way to have fun, gain work experience, and make a difference in our community!
