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 West View Loop Reroute
Saturday, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
This is our monthly Saturday workparty which will be at Lord Hill Regional Park on the multi use West View Loop trail.
We'll be rerouting a short and steep eroded section of trail at West View Loop's north exit. This is a multi day project and specifics for this day are dependent on what gets done on prior days. Either way, we'll be working with hand tools to help grade the trail for drainage and sustainability. No experience is needed and everyone can take things at their own pace!
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 hiking in and out from the trailhead for the day.
Registration is required through Snohomish County's Volunteer Portal. The event can be found using the following link: https://cerv.is/0282gDXRaWL
