Trail Work
We work with our local land managers to maintain "sustainable" trails. "Sustainable" trails are trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment.
With everyone's help, we have logged many hours of trail maintenance.

"Illegal" Trail Maintenance
- Poorly done and unapproved trail maintenance has been done, making SORBA-Huntsville look BAD.
- SORBA-Huntsville is the only trail maintenance group active on the mountain.
- We are now associated with all trail maintenance done in park for good, or BAD
- All projects are to go through the trails coordinator, so we are on the up and up with the park, or other agency
Schedule:
- We normally meet the first Saturday of every month, unless it is a holiday weekend. In that case, we meet the next weekend.
- Please take a look at our calendar for work dates and locations.
- We work for about four hours. Sometimes lunch follows, and occasionally even door prices!
- Sometimes the trail day is continued into Sunday for those who can't make Saturdays.
- If you have a specific project you want to work on, please contact the Trails Coordinator
Locations:
- Currently we focus most of our efforts at Monte Sano State Park.
