Gunpowder Falls State Park staffers are looking for volunteers who want to learn about trail maintenance and then put their new knowledge to work in the field.

Those interested should meet on Sat., Sept. 12 at 9 a.m. at the Sparks Bank Nature Center, 1207 Sparks Road, Sparks.

Volunteers will learn how to decrease erosion on slopes by a method called “bench cutting.” They will then make some bench cuts on local trails. The workshop goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers should dress for field work and bring their own gloves, water and snacks.

Class size is limited. Call 410-329-6809 for registration.
