The High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew
The High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew is an IRS-approved Non Profit 501(c)(3)
corporation founded on our mission statement:
"To empower volunteers to serve the needs of the forest and the community."
We offer several divisions of the HSVTC to achieve this mission. Below are the current programs that we offer in 2010. Join us for the most rewarding work you'll ever do, in the most beautiful setting anywhere, among the greatest group of people you'll ever know. We'll feed you, teach you, challenge you, make you laugh, and leave you with good friends, new experiences, and happy memories and, well, maybe a couple of calluses too. It's free and all are welcome. First-come, first-served prior to the trip deadline for closing registration. Bring the kids, bring Grandma, bring your dog. Pack your favorite lawn chair, s'mores ingredients, adult beverages and good cheer (leave the boom boxes at home) and join us for an unforgettable experience.
Be sure to check out our current trip descriptions for the start of 2010.
Vital Trail Maintenance Program - VTM
Volunteers head out on trails to clear windfalls, maintain erosion control,
restore trail tread, and clear encroaching brush. The VTM program has been the
heart of HSVTC since its inception. And best of all for our volunteers - it's all FREE!
For the latest news and information on the VTM program, see our
Discussion Board. To sign up for one of our VTM trips

Trip Registration pages.
Environmental Reclamation Team
Join the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew in cleaning up former illegal grow sites in our National Forests.
After law enforcement has cleared the sites, we remove drip irrigation line, trash,
fertilizer, etc., from those sites and then perform site restoration by filling in planting
holes and covering the hillsides with small branches and duff to help prevent erosion. Participation
in our Environmental Reclamation Team is subject to approval by the management staff due to the
sometimes extreme conditions encountered. If you are interested, please
Contact Us and express your interest in our
Environmental Reclamation Team.
Youth Education Programs
Involvement and education of our youth is paramount to the future of our forest lands.
The HSVTC actively encourages youth of all ages to participate in our program. We are currently seeking
school and youth programs to partner with us to provide these outdoor experiences. If you are
interested in participating, or in partnering with HSVTC for this program, please
Contact Us and express your interest in our
Youth Education Programs.
