Trail Stewards
Trail stewards are avid hikers that enjoy walking the Halton Hills trail network. We ask our stewards to report back any concerns on trails and clean up light litter along the way. This is a great opportunity to volunteer as a family and spend quality time together. Families and applicants of all ages are welcome to apply. Please note children under 14 years of age will need to be supervised by a parent/guardian and have an interest and/or experience in the outdoors.
