2009 Work Parties

Buckeye Trail Work Parties try to emphasize both words - Work and Party. Participants usually spend the days at work, improving sections of trail, while the evenings are spent gathered together in camp, enjoying lively conversation.

How do you become a member of the Buckeye Trail Crew? It's simple! Just show up at any of the scheduled work parties. You do NOT need any experience! You do NOT need any tools! Motivation is the only requirement. People of all ages have been a part of a work party, doing as much as they feel they can.

The Trail Crew usually works from March until mid-June, then resumes in September through early November.

In 2009, the trail crew plans a variety of both new trail construction and trail maintenance. The construction work parties will last usually 5 days. The maintenance work parties will be for just the weekend and may take place in several locations around the state on the same weekend.
