Trail Team Volunteers

Mt. Olive’s Open Space Committee is looking for a team of volunteers to create and maintain trails in Mt. Olive parks.   Trail builders will flag, blaze and clear new routes on Mt. Olive’s open space properties.   Trail maintainers will walk sections of trails a couple of times a year to make sure trails are still clearly marked, signed and problem-free.   Another group of volunteers will fix problems reported.   If you like to explore or just take an occasional walk in the woods,  or want to volunteer for your community, join Mt. Olive’s trail team  by contacting Kathy Murphy  (973-691-0900 ext. 7272 or kmurphy@mtolivetwp.org).  Winter is the best time to build trails!
