The BVS Trail Committee is seeking volunteers to help maintain our trails. If you are interested please email bvstrailscouts@gmail.com. Trail Scouts will have a variety of activities to choose from like raking, pruning, weed whacking, shoveling or just hiking and reporting trail conditions. In order to help with trail maintenance the BVSA requires each Trail Scout to sign a Release of Liability form and bring a copy of your current Home Owners Insurance declaration page to the BVS Association Office. Looking forward to hearing from you, Happy Trails!
