Join Wildlands Trust stewardship staff to create a new section of the trail at the Rounseville Preserve in Rochester. Located behind the Town of Rochester’s Gifford Park, this small-but-scenic loop trail traverses wetlands and woodlands. With your help, we will add a section of trail connecting a new access point for the community to enjoy. All experience levels are welcome!

Work will include lopping, trimming with hand clippers, and raking.

The volunteer day will last from 10am-1pm. Volunteers are free to come and go as they please. Questions? Contact Stewardship & Volunteer Coordinator Rebecca Cushing at volunteer@wildlandstrust.org.

Parking is available at the trailhead, located within Gifford Park.
