The Mountaineers Tacoma Branch is looking for volunteers to coordinate trail maintenance projects on behalf of the Tacoma Branch. We also need a volunteer or two to oversee the Irish Cabin property and manage an annual work party. If you can help contact Bill Goodman at 253-564-8337, or bbgoodman@harbornet.com.
In the meantime sign up for a trail maintenance project with Washington Trails Association (WTA) who have work parties weekly. Go to www.wta.org to sign up for a trail maintenance project.

Tentative dates are set for the 2010 volunteer work parties.
- April 24, May 22, and June 12, trail work
- July 10, exotic plant removal or possibly other "alpine gardening"
- August 7, trail work with a camp overnight at the park
- Sept 11, meadow revegetation
- October 2, trail work
A large part of the trail work this year is expected to continue building the trail from the White River Campground to Glacier Basin. This trail was damaged during the historic 2006 floods that hit the park.
Carl Fabiani, Trails Supervisor, says there is a good chance that the trail work on this new section of trail will be completed by the end of the summer. Come join on this effort!
Contact John Titland, Volunteer Coordinator, Mount Rainier National Park Associates to sign up.
