Staff at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area perform daily trail maintenance work throughout the peak spring, summer, and fall seasons. With over 80 miles of trails we offer volunteer opportunities to help maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for park visitors.
Our most popular volunteer event, the Second Saturday Trail Party, gives you the power to help transform and restore your favorite trails. You may even find a special place to take a break for your next day hike! Volunteers at these events have helped install reverse grades, build bridges, improve water crossings, improve drainage, and clear trails.
Attendees should expect to work in most weather conditions, and bring suitable personal protective equipment (PPE). Work gloves, closed toed shoes (safety toe recommended), and long sleeves and pants are a must. Additional safety equipment is provided as needed, or communicated ahead of the day.
Come help build something you can use again and again!
We meet every second Saturday between April and October at the Fair Hill NRMA maintenance complex located at 300 Tawes Drive in Elkton at 8:45 AM. Events usually run for 3 hours. Water is provided on site, water bottles are recommended for refilling.
