Trail Maintenance & Wayfinding Steward

About the role of trail maintenance & wayfinding steward

We live in a place with lots of forest around us. There are old walking paths nearby, but many are now covered by bushes and hard to find. We want to open them again and keep them clear so people can walk safely through the woods.

What you’ll do

  • Cut back bushes and clear small plants so the paths stay open
  • Mark the trails with paint or simple signs so people don’t get lost
  • Walk the paths regularly to check if they need more work
  • Help us keep a simple map or notes about the trails
  • Work schedule: Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 13:00 (15 hours per week)
  • Stay: 1 month
