FUGRASS Trail Work Party

Fugrass Trail Work Party

Come Build Trail With Us!

Join the Oakridge Trails Alliance for a day of trail building, good food, and great company as we continue work on the Fugrass Connector.

This project is helping connect the iconic Bunchgrass Ridge and Fuji Mountain trail systems, creating one incredible backcountry experience. Whether you've been building trail for years or this is your very first work party, we'd love to have you join us.

What to Expect

We'll start the morning with a safety briefing before heading out to the project site. Throughout the day you'll work alongside experienced crew leaders who will teach trail building techniques, answer questions, and make sure everyone has a safe and rewarding experience.

No experience is necessary. If you're willing to learn and aren't afraid to get a little dirty, you'll fit right in.

What to Bring

  • Plenty of water or a hydration pack

  • Lunch and snacks (unless otherwise noted)

  • Sturdy, closed-toe boots or shoes

  • Long pants

  • Clothes you don't mind getting dirty

  • Work gloves (if you have them)

  • Eye protection and sunscreen

  • Hat

  • Layers for changing mountain weather

  • Personal medications

We'll Provide

  • Trail tools

  • Safety equipment

  • Instruction and guidance

  • Plenty of laughs and a rewarding day on the trail

What You'll Be Doing

Work may include:

  • Brushing vegetation

  • Digging and shaping trail tread

  • Moving rocks and dirt

  • Building drains

  • General trail maintenance

Tasks vary throughout the day, and we'll make sure everyone has a job they're comfortable with.

Good to Know

  • Cell service is very limited.

  • Be prepared for changing mountain weather.

  • Mosquitoes have been minimal during the day but can be active in the evenings.

  • Please pack out everything you bring in.

  • Children are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian and able to safely participate.

Whether you're joining us for the first time or you're a familiar face, we're excited to have you out on the trail. Every volunteer makes a difference, and together we're building something that will be enjoyed for years to come.
