Never underestimate the value of a volunteer!
There are many ways to donate time to the Olympic Discovery Trail. Check out the opportunities below, or make your own opportunity by making a suggestion or volunteering a special skill.
Second Saturdays. On the Second Saturday of each month, Peninsula Trails Coalition hosts a volunteer work party, usually performing needed maintenance on the trail.
