Online Trail Crew - 2010 Trip Registration

VTM Base camps   Backpacks   FFM   ERT Trips

Please Note: There is a lot of logistical planning that goes into a trip, concerning food planning, crew planning, space planning, etc., and therefore the sign up for each trip is closed the Friday prior to a trip (some trips close earlier, when they reach full capacity). This allows the organization to accurately plan and pick up supplies, schedule necessary space, etc., so that we do not waste our limited resources. Therefore, you will notice that as a trip approaches, the Trip List below will signify that we have passed that Friday Deadline, and we can no longer accept signups.

Environmental Reclamation Team

Note: Participation in our Environmental Reclamation Team is subject to approval by the management staff, due to the sometimes extreme conditions encountered. Therefore, your registering for a trip on this site does not guarantee your attendance. The management staff will take into consideration the difficulty of access to the sites, amount of work to be accomplished, and participation on previous trips in approving a volunteer’s attendance. The confirmation from the web site when you register is not the approval process. The cut-off for sign ups on Environmental Reclamation Team Trips is the Friday prior to the event and you will either receive a confirmation email or phone call from ERT prior to the event. The sooner you sign up the sooner you will receive your confirmation for attendance.
