Please join the ATA August 1 on Passage 11E, in the Santa Catalina Mountains Region near Tucson, for a trail work event. Work on the final year of the Butterfly Trail Metamorphosis. The project area is 2+ miles from the trailhead, so anticipate hiking between 5 and 6 miles for the day with tools. This project is rated moderate – accessible to first time volunteers, although the hike in may be strenuous.

The project will focus on brushing [removing vegetation from the trail corridor to keep the trail open to users] and treadwork [repairing or improving the trail surface]. This means working with hand saws, loppers, pick mattocks and Mcleods, but other kinds of tasks may be needed.

All tools and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided.  No prior trail work experience is required – the necessary instruction and guidance for new volunteers will be provided.

Please wear long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy shoes. Bring sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, headcovering, etc.), 2L of drinking water/electrolytes, and your own snacks. Lunch will be provided.

Catalina Highway is passenger-car accessible. Carpooling will be available. Details for meeting location and final instructions will be provided to registered volunteers about 3-4 days in advance of the event.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the event, please contact the event host, Tasha.
