Sign up for the April work parties here
We’re hosting hands-on trail workdays at Idler’s Rest Preserve, and we’d love your help! These workdays are all about caring for the trails we all enjoy—keeping them safe, sturdy, and ready for wandering boots, curious kids, and muddy dogs.
Volunteers will help with a mix of satisfying, real-deal trail projects like smoothing and regrading trail sections, refreshing gravel, fixing erosion, and installing stairway railings to improve safety. No experience needed—we’ll show you the ropes (sometimes literally), provide guidance throughout the day, and make sure you leave knowing a little more about how trail care keeps our preserves healthy for the long haul.
Come lend a hand, learn something new, and be part of stewarding a place we all love.
Activities may include:
Trail maintenance, regrading, and digging
Replacing gravel and repairing erosion issues
Installing and repairing stairways and railings
Removing weeds and clearing fallen trees
Installing and maintaining signs
We provide:
All tools and equipment
Snacks, water, and warm beverages
Guidance from PLT staff
What to bring and wear:
Long pants and long-sleeved shirt
Closed-toed shoes
Clothing suitable for variable weather
Willingness to bend, lift, and carry materials
Come lend a hand, connect with the land, and help keep Idler’s Rest safe and accessible for all. We will meet at the Idler’s Rest parking lot and be greeted by Palouse Land Trust's Community Lands Steward (Craig Malone).
Please note that this work involves physical activity, including frequent bending, lifting, and carrying weight.
