Volunteer

There are many ways to join in the work of the KHTA. Participation in 2nd Saturday trail work is possibly the most immediately gratifying. Meeting other hiker-trail builders is part of the fun. Experienced hikers may want to take on the responsibility for monitoring a section of the KHT, THROUGH THE ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAM [LINK]. To find out more about how the KHTA works, attendance at KHTA Board meetings is encouraged. Several Board positions are open. TO GET BOARD MEETING TIME AND LOCATION: Contact Us. THE KHTA ALSO SPONSORS HIKING EVENTS.

MONTHLY 2ND SATURDAY KHT WORKDAYS
The Knobstone Hiking Trail is a work in progress. Miles still need to be acquired, and many more need to be built and maintained. Volunteers of the KHTA are needed to accomplish this. You can join in this rewarding work by helping on a KHTA monthly 2nd Saturday work crew (February—November). Membership is not required. Crews are led by experienced trail builders.
