Volunteers Wanted
The Brush Back Brigade is a group of dedicated volunteers who meet regularly to 'brush back' or generally work on trails. We are always looking for eager individuals who want to help keep our community trails in good order. If you'd like to join us in this rewarding work please contact info@squamishtrails.com
Trails Needing Attention?
If you know of a trail needing attention please let us know at info@squamishtrails.com It's also a good idea to as well contact the District Trails Coordinator, Todd Pope about such situations. He can be contacted at tpope@squamish.ca
