WHAT: This is a great opportunity to do some trail building and maintenance work in the area hit by the May 2025 tornado. If you have not done this work before, this is a wonderful way to learn. We will be working with St. Louis City Forestry, The Sierra Club EMG, and the Ozark Trail Association. We will be cutting and clearing brush, creating new trail and marking trails. Participants can work as many hours as they would like.
