FOPOS Trail Crew Volunteer Session // 8.7.25

Join the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) for a trail crew volunteer session on Thursday, August 7th, from 9 AM - 11 AM.

Volunteers will work under the guidance of the FOPOS stewardship staff to help monitor and maintain the trails at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Volunteers will assist with trail maintenance tasks such as clearing overgrown vegetation, monitoring for fallen trees, and picking up litter. No prior experience is necessary... just a willingness to get your hands dirty and make a positive impact!

Meetup Location: Mountain Lakes House Parking Lot

Directions & Parking: We will meet at the Mountain Lake House parking lot, located within the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Here is a link to the parking lot location on Google Maps & Apple Maps. The address of the Preserve is 57 Mountain Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08540; this will bring you to the entrance of the Preserve, not our meet-up location. To get to the Mountain Lakes House parking lot, look for the white gate along Mountain Avenue, marked by a series of black mailboxes along the road. Drive slowly down the long paved driveway. The gravel parking lot will be on your left, approximately 1/2 mile down the driveway.

Event waiver: Please complete this event waiver - fopos.org/waiver. This needs to be completed once per calendar year.
