National Trails Day

Additional Information

National Trails Day: The Bozeman community is often praised for its world class trail system. It is one of the reasons our city shows up on ‘Most Livable Places’ or ‘Best Small Towns’ lists in publications around the country. Since 1990, GVLT has worked with various partners including the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County to establish over 70 linear miles of trails in the Bozeman area. GVLT relies heavily on volunteers to maintain and enhance the Main Street to the Mountains trail system. Each year, GVLT participates in a nationwide event called National Trails Day. On Saturday June 7th, Bozeman community members will volunteer their time to work on their community trail system. At this year’s event volunteers will be building new trails at the Highland Glen Nature Preserve (across from Bozeman Deaconess Hospital) and resurfacing trails around Lindley Park. This event is perfect for families and varying physical abilities. Volunteers will meet at 9:00am at the Lindley Park Pavilion to get tools and trail assignments. Projects will wrap up around 12:00 and lunch, donated by Baja Fresh, will be served at the pavilion at 12:30pm. There is no registration necessary for this event and it is free and open to the public. Volunteers are asked to bring sunscreen, layers for weather, sturdy shoes, hat, and gloves. GVLT will provide some tools, but if possible volunteers are asked to bring shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows. Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who show up each year to maintain and celebrate their community trails.
