Unruly Women is partnering with the Superior Hiking Trail Association (SHTA) to host a two-day women’s volunteer event along the Woods Creek section of the Superior Hiking Trail (near Grand Marais, MN) where we will help move the Superior Hiking Trail away from an eroding bank. Activities will include clearing vegetation from the new trail site and digging with shovels and hand tools to create the new tread.

The SHTA is the nonprofit that manages, maintains, and promotes the Superior Hiking Trail. This event will be hard work, but getting a bunch of women together out in the wilderness to get it done sounds like fun too, doesn’t it?!

Although this will be hard work, we want you to work at your own pace and take any breaks you need. This is a beginner-friendly event. No experience is necessary. Come learn about trail maintenance in a welcoming and safe environment.

Volunteering is a great opportunity to learn more about the areas we recreate in, about the work that goes into maintaining trail systems we use, and to not only give back to the community but to become a part of the community.

This volunteer event is free, the campsites are provided by the SHTA, and all you need is transportation to the campground, your own camping gear, food and water, and whatever else you normally bring camping.

We do have the option to camp both Friday and Saturday nights, but ultimately it's up to you what works with your schedule, as long as you can make it for the 8:30am start time both Saturday and Sunday until 4:30pm each or either day!

This is an event for women, which means all folks who are female identifying and/or femme leaning non-binary individuals. Please click the Sign Me Up button to head over to the Eventbrite sign up page, for more details.
