We host monthly beginner friendly weekend work parties that rotate between Lord Hill Regional Park hosted on odd months(January, March, etc.) and Reiter Foothills State Forest hosted on even months(February, April, etc.) so you can dig where you ride. Whether this is your first work party or your 100th, there's always something for everyone!
While the monthly weekend work parties are a great way to plan ahead and have fun with the larger community, we also stay busy in-between. Check on social and the event calendar to stay updated and learn more about work partys and other events.

What to Bring
Bring a pair of work gloves and some sturdy footwear along with enough food and water to keep you fueled for the day. We'll have enough tools to pass around, but you're always welcomed to bring your favorite if you have one.
