Volunteers Needed For National Trails Day, June 7

  • Friday, May 23, 2025

National Trails Day is June 7 and Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, the American Hiking Society, and the Southeastern Climbers Coalition are looking for volunteers to participate.

Join National Park Service staff and other volunteers for a workday on the Bluff Trail, starting at the stairs leading down to Sunset Rock. This year’s project focuses on clearing exotic, invasive plants, and other overhanging vegetation, along with general beautification of the trail.

All tools and supplies will be provided to volunteers. Volunteers are asked to wear long pants and sturdy, close-toed shoes, no flip-flops. Sunscreen and water are recommended.

To participate, meet in the Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center’s parking lot, 110 Point Park Road on Lookout Mountain, behind the building, at 9 a.m.

Sign-up is not required beforehand and will be done on-site at the time of the project.
