Volunteer Trailhead Outreach Program at Mount Major
The Forest Society is proud to continue meaningful visitor outreach efforts at Mt Major by continuing to grow a fresh volunteer program. The Volunteer Trailhead Outreach Program (VTOP) is modeled after the highly successful Trailhead Stewards Program in the White Mountain National Forest and the Adirondack Mountain Club’s Trailhead Stewardship Program. Volunteers engage and share information with visitors at the Mt Major trailhead parking area under our new pavilion.
Training is provided in online modules with a final training with a vetern VTOP member during the April-October season. Volunteer training includes basic information about Mount Major, visitor engagement, Leave-No-Trace etiquette, and share the message of HikeSafe & Recreate Responsibly.
- ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE
- TALK ABOUT HIKING

Volunteer shifts are flexible, you can schedule on your own terms & you can have fun engaging with trail users!
