Why not think about other volunteer opportunities on the trail. Managers of every section of the Schuylkill River Trail rely heavily on the efforts of volunteers to help maintain the trail and improve the experience of all those who use it. Volunteer opportunities range by the level of commitment, experience required and physical capabilities, so there is bound to be something to suit everyone.
Groups often find volunteering for specific tasks helpful to team building and communication. If you have an idea for a project you or your group could undertake then please contact the trail manager in the section you are interested in or Kara Wilson, Trail Steward, 484-945-0200 or visit www.schuylkillriver.org.
