The Sierra Club has a number of "Service Trips." I checked on one, Habitat Restoration at Point Reyes National Seashore, California. For that one, workers are charged $495. mad   I think the AHS is working in a similar mode.

It has been my hope that the Mt. Whitney Hikers Association could organize a work project like this in the future, IF we had enough paying memberships to support it.

I am hoping we could pay the expenses of a trail crew project out of the WHA funds, so workers would just need to show up. That certainly seems like it would be more fun than the workers paying through the nose for the "opportunity" to work.
