The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is looking for volunteers for work crews to improve the safety, connectivity and recreational quality of the Rim to Reno trail system.  Workdays begin July 14 at the Mt. Rose Trailhead at 9am to 4pm and will continue every Thursday and Saturday until Oct. 20.

Last year, 500 people volunteered, completing 1.75 miles of new trail between Galena Falls and Relay Peak, while U.S. Forest Service and Nevada Conservation Corps crews completed several miles of the trail leading south from Reno.

The association hopes to recruit 1,000 volunteers for its 2012 effort.

The Rim to Reno trail system will connect existing trails and create a new system that includes loops and will be accessible through the Mt. Rose Summit Trailhead, U.S. Forest Service’s Thomas Creek and White’s Creek Trailheads, and Washoe County’s Galena Creek Regional Park, Lower White’s Creek and Lower Thomas Creek Trailheads.

To volunteer, register online or contact Lindsey at (775) 298.0239 or via email at trails@tahoerimtrail.org.
