Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

The American Hiking Society has posted it’s volunteer vacation schedule for 2008. Don't know what volunteer vacations are? AHS describes them as ‘a series of trail building projects on America's public lands. Each crew consists of 6-15 volunteers accompanied by a crew leader. Trips involve backpacking or day hiking and accommodations vary from primitive campsites to bunkhouses or cabins. Tools and supervision are provided by the host agency or organization. More than a program that rehabilitates trails, Volunteer Vacations fosters public land stewardship and provides volunteers the opportunity to give back to the trails they love and have a great time doing it!’
