Stewardship Policies
Volunteers are responsible for their own safety while on the trail. ATCSC provides general guidance and equipment, but we do not guarantee the condition of the trail or the safety of specific routes.
Campsite stewardship includes the maintenance of fire rings, picnic tables, and restrooms. Volunteers must follow all posted rules and regulations to ensure the long-term health of the ecosystem.
By participating in ATCSC volunteer activities, you acknowledge that the organization is a non-profit coalition and that all work is conducted in a professional and volunteer capacity.
ATCSC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel any volunteer event at its sole discretion. We recommend that all volunteers review the current schedule and waivers prior to participation.
By signing up for our newsletter or volunteer program, you agree to receive updates and communications from ATCSC regarding future stewardship opportunities and mission events.
Volunteer Waiver
By participating in ATCSC volunteer activities, you acknowledge that these activities involve inherent risks. You agree to abide by all safety protocols and to release the ATCSC from any liability arising from your participation.
