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: Trail Maintenance (Come & Go)

Monday, 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM

We'll get the specific details ironed out as the day gets closer, but the focus on the day will be on general maintenance on trails that have bike access which may be bike specific trails or multi-use.

This is a Come & Go Workparty. Meet on the trail any time after the start time and stay for however long works for you. We'll have tools and someone experienced on the trail during the event times so all you need is some work gloves and layers to stay comfortable for the days weather! Bikes recommended!

Registration is required through Snohomish County's Volunteer Portal. The event can be found using the following link: https://cerv.is/0282x300

Reiter Foothills Monthly Dig Summer Brushing

Saturday, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

This is our monthly Saturday workparty which will be at Reiter Foothills. The focus for the day will be on tackling summer brush. We'll get the exact trails figured out as the day get closer, but we usually brush trails throughout May/June working our way from the bottom to the top of the trail system. We'll meet at the 429th parking lot(no parking pass required) and then drive or carpool down the road and through the gated forest road with the tools as we head towards the trails. We'll have hand tools and some power tools for everyone so only work gloves, food, water and yourself are needed! If you'd like to bring your own tools/power tools, we can drive them in if you'd prefer to walk/ride in and pick them up further in.

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.
