Cascade Head Overnight Volunteer Work Party

At this two-day volunteer event, we will improve the popular hiking trail to The Nature Conservancy’s Cascade Head Preserve. 

What are we doing, exactly?

On Saturday, starting at 10 a.m., volunteers will be moving gravel onto low areas of the trail that get muddy in the rainy season and conducting maintenance on boardwalks. We will finish up work in the early afternoon and walk to Knight Park for the UNESCO Biosphere celebration, where volunteers can choose from multiple afternoon outdoor activities.

On Sunday, starting at 9 a.m., we will hike to the prairie and remove invasive Himalayan blackberry using shovels. Access to the worksite is 4 miles round trip with about 500 feet of elevation gain.

Volunteers can camp overnight on Saturday and participate in the volunteer activity on both Saturday and Sunday, or can select to only participate during one or two days without camping overnight.
