Volunteer

It's volunteers like you that make everything happen. Multiple projects throughout the year need additional volunteers to contribute time and expertise. Whether it's trail maintenance, event logistics, committee partners or community outreach, there are many places for folks to get involved. Literally everyone has skills we can use. That includes you!

COGGS would love your help!

Trail Work Volunteer Opportunities

We continually need motivated people to help build and maintain our trail network. There are dozens of opportunities all summer long, with a huge variety of required skill sets. If you like to be outside, work hard, meet new people and have a good time doing it - trail work is for you. The volunteer trail crews make up the heart and soul of COGGS. There are opportunities across Duluth, based around each major trail center. Email volunteer@coggs.com to get involved.

Trail corridor clearing - debris pickup, moving small rocks, small fallen branches/trees, etc.

NEW! COGGS Adopt-A-Trail Program

Have you ever considered adopting a section of trail? COGGS has identified 23 different sections along the entire Duluth Traverse ranging in length from roughly 1-2 miles. Most sections can be maintained by a single person, but this is also a great opportunity for sponsoring businesses, an organization or groups of people. This is an excellent way to get your team, your family, or yourself outdoors and perform some critical volunteer work. This work is a safe and enjoyable trail experience. Email coordinator@coggs.com for more information.
