GHORBA work parties are one of the primary sources of maintenance and enhancement for the local trails.  Each trail has a local trail steward who coordinates and often leads these work parties.  Helping out at a work party is a great way to give back to your local trail and to help maintain the upkeep (overgrown brush, downed trees) or to improve the trails and their structures.  Work party funding is supported through annual Membership Dues and various Grants. For the racers out there, these work parties are also pay-dirt eligible. 

Volunteer trail stewards and workers have been busy lately with projects directly affecting the quality of the trails and their work is immediately visible. Through the past few months The Anthills have replaced multiple bridges, Double Lake has re-opened and repaired the trail from the Dangerous Trees Drought Closure, and Memorial Park has built re-routes around unrecoverable trail sections. These are just a few examples of some of the work being done around town; join up with your local trail steward to help make your trail a better place.

Upcoming opportunities are regularly held at trails throughout the Houston area, watch our Calendar Page or join one of the mailing lists below to keep up on new opportunities.  There will also be significant opportunities for work parties at some of our new trail constructions such as the Huntsville Expansion, Flintridge Expansion, and River Bend.  You can read more about these opportunities and their backgrounds on our Advocacy page.

Want to help out? Contact information for our trail stewards is available on each trails page or by selecting the appropriate trail on our contact form.
