The 8th Annual Pete Sorini Adopt A Trail Day and Adopter Training will take place June 10 and 11 at Thompson Park.

The event will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10 and 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 11.

People are invited to join the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC), Gina Evans and local volunteers. In partnership with the Butte Ranger District, this two-day event will focus on trail maintenance along the Continental Divide Trail from Highlands Camp to Limekiln. All volunteers should meet at the Highlands Camp at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 10, and they will be divided into two groups.

Experienced trail volunteers will join Evans and Forest Service staff to complete trail log out and other trail maintenance activities. Novice trail volunteers will join CDTC Field Instructors to learn about trail tools and the basics of trail maintenance; then conduct light maintenance to apply their newly-learned skills. CDC volunteers will be able to adopt their own section of the CDT.

The CDTC led Adopter Training will continue Sunday, any and all are welcome to join.
