The Wenatchee World recently did an fine article on the work of the Washington Trails Association. The WTA is continually looking for volunteers who can donate of their time to help both maintain trails as well as repair trails in areas damaged by flooding or other natural catastrophes. This is a great opportunity for local hikers to give back to the pursuit that they love. We are blessed here in North Central Washington with an abundance of hiking locations that it doesn’t take long to think of a trail or section of trail that could use some attention. Plus, what other kind of volunteer work gets you out hiking on our beautiful trails communing with nature and sharing experiences with other hikers?
