ONGOING VOLUNTEER POSITIONS 

Being an entirely volunteer organization we rely on members to help add trail mileage and guaranty access to open space in the Truckee Meadows. Not all involves physical building of trails. Here are some of the areas you can choose to be involved with:

Trail Construction —
Helping flag proposed trails alignments
Team Leader (after training session)
Crew participant using such exotic tools as McLeods, Polasky, rakes, shovels, mattocks, and rock bars
Being able to walk or ride a trail and say, "I helped build that."

What to expect —
TMTA supplies all tools and supplies for trail construction. On most corporate sponsored trail construction even lunch is included. Projects start between 8 or 9am and usually end between 1 or 2pm. Of course volunteers with time restrictions are welcome to come for shorter periods that fit their schedules.

Volunteers are asked to bring proper weather-dependent clothing, sturdy boots, long pants, long sleeve shirt, hat, sun protection, water, and food.

Participation in trail projects is solely the responsibility of the participant. TMTA can only be responsible for supplying tools and the location of the project. There is a session before each project on safety and proper procedure.

Advocate—
Attending City Council, County Commission, local CAB and NAB meetings when trail access is being discussed. Your voices count!!
Writing short notes or emails to elected officials letting them know your desires. Your opinions count!!
