Across the U.S., hikers aren’t just walking the trails—they’re building them, too. From clearing brush to yanking out invasive weeds, volunteer days are becoming just as essential as boots and backpacks. Local clubs and park crews are calling, and the hiking community is answering—shovels in hand. These trail work meetups turn strangers into teammates and give everyone skin in the game when it comes to protecting the wild places we love. You don’t have to be an expert—just show up, get dirty, and give back. 💪🌿 #nature #Community #Hiking
