The Patapsco Trail Work Series

We’re building trails and community in the Patapsco Valley!

In 2025, we kept our popular trail workdays on Saturday to better fit our volunteers’ schedules—thank you for the fantastic response!

And, we added invasive species removal to each workday, giving everyone a chance to make an even bigger impact on our shared natural resource.

2025 has been an incredible year!
