1. Please review the Guidelines for A.T. Volunteers to the left. Click on it to open a version you can print or download. In particular, review the information under "Volunteers: Before You Participate" and "Volunteers and Crew Leaders: In the Field". Do not attempt any trail work if you are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. Except for those living in the same household, do not share rides when going to the Trail site. Wash your hands frequently, don't share tools, maintain social distancing, wear a mask and other appropriate PPE.
2. You MUST review ATC's COVID-19 Safety Training Video. Find it HERE.
3. You MUST complete the "Re-Engagement Acknowledgement - COVID-19" form and submit it. Find it HERE. After you click on the link, scroll down until you see "Re-Engagement Acknowledgement - COVID-19". This step is very important, because you will not be covered by Volunteers In The Park (VIP) insurance unless you submit it.
