Metro Trails Crew

The Trail Conference trail crews are made up of volunteers dedicated to the construction and rehabilitation of foot trails in the Metro area.

If you would like to volunteer for any of our work projects please call the leader for information including time and place of meeting, and to RSVP your attendance.

There is work for every level of interest. We offer on-the-job training with our experienced leaders. Parking, car pooling and mass transit is available. Most trips start at 9am or 10 am and will run until about 2pm. Training, tools and gloves will be furnished. Wear sturdy shoes, bring refreshment for the work trips.

RSVP with Project Leader is a MUST.

We maintain trails in:

  • Van Cortlandt Park

  • Pelham Bay Park

  • Forest Park

  • Staten Island Greenbelt

  • Alley Pond Park

We are working toward developing trails in Idlewild Park.

If you would like to do trail work in the NYC area, contact Linda to be put on the email notification list. Linda Sullivan, Metro Trail Crew Chief marmlinda@yahoo.com
