Volunteer with the Bigfoot Trail Alliance
We are excited to announce our work trips in 2024 with destinations including the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel, Siskiyou, Trinity Alps, and Marble Mountains wilderness areas. These trips vary from weekends at trailheads to week long adventures. Applications are prioritized for members and donors with perks including meals (in most cases), kitchen supplies, tool training, and a good time with like-minded folks.
