Work Days

Now that the Cumberland Valley Rail -Trail is mostly complete,  we must turn our attention the the care and maintenance of the trail. CVRTC depends on local membership dues and contributions to pay for the maintenance of the trail. We receive no funding from the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC), or from any government entity.  CVRTC also depends on volunteers to provide all the labor. Consider adopting a section of the trail, arranging a work day with your group or coming as an individual to one of our a work days.  If you would like to be notified of future work days or if you or your group would like to schedule you own work day please contact us at info@cvrtc.org
