Join us at Work Week 2025!
The Tropical Trekkers have the task of preparing over 70 Miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail (FNST) for the 2025 hiking season. We have much to accomplish after a summer of growth along our section of trail. There is a job for everyone no matter what their skill set, and we hope to provide you with a great sense of accomplishment.
We promise awesome camaraderie and time with friends we may not have seen in far too long. In addition to the normal mowing, lopping, brush cutting, and painting we hope to install some additional puncheon bridges, depending on permissions and if we can acquire the materials in time. As you can see a large number of volunteers will be needed.
We ask that you bring your own PPE and tools you may have, such as hard hats, safety vests, gloves, eye and ear protection, and loppers. Closed toe shoes and long pants are required. We will provide you with whatever equipment you can’t furnish. You will need sunscreen, bug juice, and a way to carry your lunch and 2 liters of water. A small backpack or fanny pack works well. Be sure to check the weather forecast as you pack for the week as we may work hot and wet or cold and windy conditions. A few spare pairs of dry boots and socks is always a good idea.
