Tennessee's Cumberland Trail website now has the the schedule for the new Spring Program on the website:
http://www.cumberlandtrail.org/
So if you enjoy "giving back", helping build new trail, and enjoy meeting and working with other trailbuilders from all over the US, be sure to schedule some time time this spring to help with the Cumberland Trail.
The Spring Schedule offers something for everybody. There are several day trail-building outings on Black Mountain. There are two "busy backpacker" programs in the northern part of the CT, and a 4th annual Big Dig in the southern part of the CT. In addition to the regular 5-week Big Dig near Chattanooga, TN, the CT is having a Big Dig North. The Big Dig North, from May 31 - June 19, is modeled after the popular "busy backpacker" outing in Frozen Head last fall. Backpackers will be able to hike in for however many days they want.
The expanded Spring trailbuilding schedule reflects the fact that the Cumberland Trail Conference is no longer "landlocked" - several new donations and purchases of trail corridor have made almost 60 miles of new trail corridor available to build. As a result, the Cumberland Trail Conference is scheduling more trailbuilding programs and increasing staff and actively seeking more volunteers.
The Cumberland Trail needs your help!
