Join a work party today!
We host work parties on the second Saturday of each month that are open to everyone!

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.

Lord Hill Monthly Dig on Wishbone

Saturday, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

We'll be working on Wishbone to restore some long overdue berms that have been showing signs of wear over the past few years along with armoring a few sections of trail that are showing signs of erosion. 

We'll meet at 9:00AM at the barn located near the general use parking lot at the park's north entrance. Tools are provided, but be sure to bring some work gloves and enough food and water for the day as we'll be out on the trails for the day.

Bikes are recommended as we will be mostly in one area for the day, and it allows us to bike in and out!

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.

What to Expect

Once we pass out tools and go over the basics, we'll hike our way over to the trail and get everyone setup for a day of trailwork! Expect a 3-5 hour day depending on the weather and everyone's mood.
