Volunteer Opportunities
Trail Patrol
Trail Patrol volunteers help to keep the Wake County portion of the American Tobacco Trail safe and clean. These dedicated volunteers perform a variety of tasks while on the Trail, including litter and horse manure pick up and looking for unsafe trail conditions and damage which is reported to park staff.
In addition to Trail Patrol, additional opportunities include clearing vegetation along the trail border and other maintenance projects.
