Event Link

Come help complete reroute efforts on the Iola Ski Hill Segment of the Ice Age Trail to move the Trail away from ski trails and onto its own path.

All talents and abilities welcome! There’s a role for volunteers of all ages and abilities. And no experience is necessary to participate in MSC events. Friendly Alliance staff and certified volunteer crew leaders provide hands-on training to get you started immediately.

Meals and checking in at base camp/volunteer check in information: Camping is available at the Iola Winter Sports Club, E398 County MM, Iola, WI, for those staying overnight. Conveniently, trail work is only a short distance from where participants will pitch their tent. A light breakfast will be provided, along with dinner, for volunteers staying overnight. 

What to bring:

  • Please bring a lunch for each day on site.
  • Long-sleeve shirts and pants for trail work; mud boots if participants have them, may come in handy.
  • Plan for variable weather – bring warm layers and rain gear.
  • Sturdy hiking or work boots (no tennis shoes) and leather work gloves.
  • Day pack, water bottles, insect repellent, a hat and gaiters.

Your contribution of time and energy is welcome for any part of the event. Please register by Wednesday, August 2. 

This event is part of Wisconsin Land Trust Days. Learn more at HaveFunOutside.org.
