9AM – NOON

• Come prepared to work
  
• Crews will be very spread out

What to bring / wear:

Tools (optional)

*****should you bring personal tools please clearly label them so you can make it home with what you brought.

*******note – we do not expect any one volunteer to provide everything on this list, pick one or two things

• Gloves

• Lopper/Pruner (with your name on them)
• Hand saw (non-power like a bow saw or folding saw) and small Axe/Hatchet
• Hoe (both traditional & rogue) / Shovel (spade & square)
• Pulaski / Mattock
• Mcleod
• Rake (leaf and garden rake)
• Wheelbarrow

Project list:

• Depending on how many volunteers we have this is our list of projects in order of importance.
• Rake out drains on all trails
• This is an ongoing project to keep the new trails in good repair.
• Rock armor low wet spot on upper lot north entrance.
• That north trailhead is unfortunately where most of the water drains for the upper parking lot. This will require a lot of rock moving.
• Touch up on new staircase. Likely first couple of years of stairs will need periodic maintenance like this.
• Older trail reclamation
• Some older trails that were shut down permanently (like the blue trail next to Zingo, the old yellow trail that went from upper lot to ridge/point, the old west entrance on upper parking lot near driveway) are starting to get “reopened” by folks and we need to go in and rebrush them and reclaim them.
• Additionally if any families or groups wish to just come out and pick up litter we will gladly set them to work too!
• If you have any questions please contact Bobby, Eric or Peter

Not only is Volunteering at Linde Oktoberfest a great way to give back to the Tulsa Community it is a great way to help fund your favorite non-profits! In addition to a host of other non-profits like the River Parks Authority the TUWC benefits from this festival! Last year, over $50,000 was raised by groups working during Oktoberfest, which goes directly back into the community! 

Why volunteer? 

• The TUWC is paid per Volunteer hour. These funds go directly into our operating costs.

• What do operating costs cover? Specifically insurance so we can continue to host trail work days.

• What do volunteers do? We fill online packet pickup and check in guests. No money ever changes hands.

• We are not serving beer. Actually we see people before they ever get near the beer. 

• Students can volunteer as service hours and the TUWC will sign off.

FAQ

• Is parking free?

Parking on site is paid parking. Linde Oktoberfest has partnered with a shuttle service to provide FREE SHUTTLES from other parts of the metro area. See the map on the official Linde Oktoberfest Site for more information.

• Where do I check in?

Upon arrival at the festival head directly to Volunteer Platz and check in at the “Service Groups” sign. Here you will be given a volunteer badge and escorted to your designated area. Please note, you must have a volunteer badge to enter the event. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your shift start time to ensure you are on location at the right time. Other volunteers are finishing their shifts and would appreciate timely arrival.

• What should I bring?

Pack light! There is limited space to store personal items. We suggest comfortable shoes and attire fitting the weather. At night it can get chilly so a jacket is a great idea. Large bags and backpacks are prohibited.

**Note – knives and firearms are not permitted on festival grounds.

This race is designed to be a very fast and flat 10k! Looking for a PR? This may be the race for you!
