Building & Maintaining Trails

Austin Ridge Riders Trail Crew hosts an average of twelve trail work days every year. We train all trail volunteers to help us maintain and/or expand our trail systems in responsible and sustainable ways.

We typically do trail work in every season except summer. Usually work happens after a rainy period, and dates are posted 24-hours in advance to our Meetup group. We provide all the tools volunteers need, and volunteers are expected to bring work gloves and wear pants and closed-toe shoes.

Advocating For Trails

To build great trails we work to build strong relationships with land managers, other nonprofits, and local stakeholders. Successful trails require years of planning, meetings, and compromise – and club membership supports us in this work. We frequently meet with local land managers, county planners, city Parks and Recreation Departments, and organizations in Central Texas to discuss opportunities for new trails.
