Service trips range from helping with research projects at whale calving grounds in Maui to assisting with archaeological site restoration in New Mexico. Usually, service trip participants team up with forest service rangers or park service personnel to restore wilderness areas, maintain trails, clean up trash and campsites, and remove non-native plants.
There is also a social aspect to service trips. Service trip participants often share a similar work ethic and similar beliefs about the land and about social responsibility. Friendships form, and it's not unusual for groups to meet again on future service trips.
