Lower Trent Conservation Volunteer Trail Steward Program

With ten conservation areas and seven natural habitat areas—spanning many kilometers of scenic trail—trail care is no small task. That’s where Trail Stewards come in. From clearing branches to identifying hazards, volunteers play a vital role in ensuring trails are safe, accessible, and beautiful all year long.

🛠️ What Trail Stewards Do:

• Clear minor debris (e.g., fallen branches)
• Report trail damage, erosion, or maintenance needs
• Help ensure a safe, welcoming experience for all users—hikers, bikers, and nature lovers alike!

🌱 What’s New for 2026: Invasive Species Focus

This year, LTC is expanding the program to include a special focus on invasive species education and action. Beginning in May, Trail Stewards will have the opportunity to take part in a series of workshops and hands-on events focused on identifying and managing invasive plants within the organization’s conservation areas.

Participants will learn how to recognize common invasive species, understand their impact on local ecosystems, and safely support removal efforts. This is a great opportunity to deepen your environmental knowledge while making a direct, lasting impact on the health of our natural spaces.
