It’s the Killington Mountain Bike Club’s first community trail day of the season.

Bags and gloves will be provided. Feel free to bring trash grabbers and buckets in lieu of bags.

The Killington Mountain Bike Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization responsible for the building and stewardship of trails in the Killington region.

This Earth Month cleanup is in partnership with AllTrails as organizations come together to care for outdoor spaces, and give back to trails, parks, and cityscapes nationwide. AllTrails aspires to provide all outdoor lovers with accessible, accurate, safe, and enjoyable resources to get outside. Check out the trails around Killington via AllTrails to enjoy before or after the cleanup!
