National Trails Day

Saturday, June 6, 9 a.m. 
Waukesha County 

June 6 is National Trails Day.  Our friends at the Ice Age Trail Alliance volunteer their time and labor twice a month to maintain public trails.  Let’s give them a hand on June 6. The Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter will sponsor work, tentatively rerouting the Scuppernong Segment of the Ice Age Trail. Visit the event page here  to download the required National Park Service Volunteer Agreement.
