Roll up your sleeves and help keep Cazenovia’s trails beautiful! Join CPF board members, staff, and community volunteers for an evening of trail care and camaraderie.
Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or joining us for the first time, there’s a place for you. Tasks vary in skill level and physical intensity, and no special experience is needed—just a willingness to lend a hand.
We kick off each Trail Work Thursday at 4:30 PM at the St. Peter’s Church parking lot, where we divvy up tools, form work crews, and then head out to tackle a variety of projects. Afterward, at 6:30 PM we meet up to enjoy refreshments—this month’s first round is courtesy of CPF Board member Jim Dungey—at Meier’s Creek Brewing Company! Thanks, Jim!
On September 24th we’ll be working at:
The Willow Patch—removing and bagging invasive knotweed. Bring wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes and digging tools.
Burlingame Gateway—reblazing sections of the trail. We’ll provide the tools.
Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and work gloves, and bring a water bottle.
RSVP to Peg Engasser, Stewardship Manager at pengasser@cazpreservation.org to help us plan our projects. In case of inclement weather, cancellations will be posted by 3:30 PM at cazpreservation.org/events.
High school students can earn volunteer hours, but those under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
