We’re kicking off the official 2026 volunteer season in northern Berks County!

For the first of several Spring Volunteer Kickoff Events, we’ll be heading to the beautiful Kernsville Dam Recreation Area. Our goal is to prepare the area for the official trail season opening on April 1 while getting everyone excited to be back on the trail after a long, cold, and snowy winter.

Volunteers will meet SRG staff at the recreation area parking lot to help clean up the trail and improve trail edges where possible. This section of the Schuylkill River Trail is one of the busiest along the entire route, welcoming over 85,000 visitors last year alone. That kind of usage is only possible because of the dedication and hard work of volunteers like you. The trail’s reputation as one of the best in the state has been built, and maintained, by your continued support.

All volunteers who attend and anyone who is signed up on POINT will be able to receive a free beer at Copperz Brewery after the event. SRG staff will be at Copperz from ~1:30-4. Food will be available for purchase.Trail season is almost here, and we are busy planning events for the spring and summer. If you've always wanted to be part of SRG, we hope you will sign up to be a volunteer.
There are so many ways you can help!
