Day-of-event required BLM registration location is at the Fishtrap Loop Trail's South Loop Trailhead Parking Lot at the BLM Fishtrap Area. For those who arrive who did not pre-register with Washington Trails Association (WTA), they will offer onsite registration. Volunteers need to register with both BLM and WTA to participate, and WTA requests that volunteers meet their requirement to participate the entire scheduled workday.

Once available, a link will be provided to WTA's website pre-event registration webpage.  

The day's work includes helping to maintain and improve flexible fiberglass post trail markers (and their locations) along the Fishtrap Loop Trail, focusing especially on the North Loop. We will ensure trail markers' strategic locations, solid placement, and add any needed decals.  In some locations, rocks will be gathered and stacked to support trail markers where the ground is too rocky to pound them into the ground. Depending on the number of attendees, volunteers might be split into two or more groups, each led by an official crew supervisor.
