Additional Information

Each year, Gallatin Valley Land Trust volunteers celebrate National
Trails Day by helping build and maintain the Main Street to the Mountains trail system. This year, we will be working on trails at the new Bozeman Pond Park, bringing to a close a multi-year effort to create a truly unique urban park.

One of the largest parks on Bozeman’s rapidly growing west side, Bozeman Pond Park serves some of our most densely populated neighborhoods, creating a critical oasis of green space, play fields, and natural areas, as well as providing important trail linkages. In 2013, GVLT helped expand the park by purchasing nine adjoining acres. This year at National Trails Day, we will be doing work to complete and improve the trails, install directional kiosks, and prepare the newly expanded park for urban adventures. In addition, GVLT will be planting 75 trees, thanks to support from Oboz Footwear One More Tree program.

This event is free and open to the public and is perfect for people of all ages and abilities. Volunteer registration begins at 8:30 a.m. under the Pavilion at Bozeman Pond. Volunteer groups are encouraged! Work crews will head out at 9 a.m. Projects will wrap up around noon and lunch will be served back at the pavillion.

Volunteers should come prepared with sunscreen, water, layers for weather, sturdy shoes, hat and gloves. GVLT will have some tools but additional shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows will be helpful. Please make sure to labels any tools you bring from home. Parking at Bozeman Pond Park is limited. Overflow parking is available on the north side of the Gallatin Valley Mall. Simply follow the GVLT signs to the registration area.
