Stumphouse Mountain Park is seeking to create a sm

Stumphouse Mountain Park is seeking to create a small volunteer group to assist with trails within the park. Work would include trimming back trails, raking, blowing, packing berms and turns, minor erosion work, and assist with trail checks and needs after a weather event.
Also looking for an individual volunteer who would be interested in leading the group. This individual would communicate with Stumphouse staff to schedule and plan volunteer work sessions.
Stumphouse Mountain Park consist of over 10 miles of bike trails which includes the Palmetto Trail segment and also the Blue Ridge Railroad Trail.
The park is extremely thankful for three gentleman who tackled the bike trails this fall/winter with clearing the trail of a heavy coverage of leaves and pine needles. This task included a lot of the individual's time and determination to see the trails clear and safe for good riding. A task of this nature would not take as long if we had a volunteer group to tackle in a couple of afternoons.

Please if interested contact Jo Anna White at stumphousewalhalla@gmail.com

This was sent out in February of 2021 and there were individuals who helped out with sincere appreciation. Jo Anna wants to reach out again and try to see this grow and establish a Stumphouse Volunteer Team
