Volunteers sought to maintain trails
Volunteers willing to work hard in the backcountry are sought to form this year’s Smokies Wilderness Elite Appalachian Trail Crew, a mobile group of trail maintainers that works sections of the Smokies more than 5 miles from the nearest road.
Sessions last six days, and crew members carry in food, water, tools and camping supplies to clear and maintain the AT along their way. The program provides food, lodging, training, equipment and transportation to and from the work site.
Volunteer through www.appalachiantrail.org/crews.
