Interested in volunteering but not sure where to start? These organizations have immediate needs for adults who love spending time outdoors.
Ice Age Trail Alliance
www.iceagetrail.org
Made of several smaller chapters, the Ice Age Trail Alliance is a volunteer- and member-run umbrella organization dedicated to maintaining, extending and protecting this national scenic trail. More information at www.iceagetrail.org/volunteer-center.
Loppet Foundation
www.loppet.org
The Loppet Foundation, in particular, is looking for volunteers as the weather turns cool. The foundation needs seasonlong commitments from volunteer ambassadors assigned to ski trails in Minneapolis parks. Volunteers can also sign up for daylong events to help with trail maintenance, tree plantings and creating those lovely ice luminaries for special events. Contact: volunteer@loppet.org.
