Earth Day Trail Repair Event

Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) invites the public to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day by participating in Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park’s largest volunteer event of the year! The annual trails repair and weed management day at Montana’s very first state park will take place on Saturday, April 9th, from 9 AM to 12:30 PM. Please note that this is not on Earth Day but is in celebration of Earth Day which occurs later in the month

Volunteers and staff will be repairing the park’s damaged and winter-worn trails as well as removing invasive weeds to keep the park healthy and easy to use. You don’t need any experience, and tools will be provided. Please bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, a water bottle, and clothing for outdoor work. If you have any tools for moving dirt or removing weeds, it is also recommended that you bring them. All trail work will be on foot. We will meet at the group use pavilion in the campground area at 9:00 AM. All volunteers will receive 2 vouchers to redeem later for a free tour of the caverns!

After the event, we will be having a smore’s social in the pavilion to thank all volunteers for their hard work. Also, feel free to bring your mountain bike or hiking poles and give the newly revitalized trails a spin to congratulate yourself for being a part of something bigger. Over 1 billion people worldwide will participate in Earth Day activities this year, so let the park know if you want to join in. RSVPs are not required, but they are helpful and encouraged.
