VOLUNTEERING

Q: Is experience required to participate in a PATC Work Crew?
A: Usually not.  Our work crews welcome all levels of experience, and we always appreciate "new blood."  Some activities, such as chainsaw work, require a certification but there are always plenty of other tasks where we need your help.  If you have never been on a work trip before, we strongly recommend that you contact the trip leader in advance to get tips on what to bring, how to dress, and to be certain of the trip meeting location.

Q: Where can I report my volunteer hours?
A: Please visit our Volunteer Hour Reporting page for online forms to report your hours.
