Who: All ages are welcome. Difficulty: Easy to moderate. It's okay if you've never done trail work before. We love accommodating new and returning volunteers—all experience levels are welcome at SCMTS events.
What: At Pump Track Keepers events, we perform a variety of upkeep tasks, including sweeping and watering the track, removing overgrown vegetation, clearing drains so water can shed off the track quickly, patching holes, braking bumps, and smoothing out the surface of the track, rebuilding and repairing berms and other features, and cleaning up the surrounding area.
