This annual summer program takes young people into the Cascades Mountains for six days of trail maintenance, camping, environmental education, and fun. No experience is necessary. Mountain Works is is run jointly by the Greenway Trust and EarthCorps. For more information download the Program Description (.pdf). Each session is 6 days long, Monday through Saturday and will be at one of two locations near North Bend, WA. 

***2008 UPDATE: We are currently reorgainizing the Mountain Works program and unfortunately, will not hold sessions this upcoming summer.  We look forward to a new, improved Mountain Works in 2009.  We hope you join us then!***
