Frank Logue's Hiking's Best Kept Secret . Ann O'Neemus has written about A Day in the Life of an Overseer . One reason for the success of the program has been a willingness to match the talents of individuals and groups with a wide variety of tasks. While most volunteers are trail adopters, others have completed special trail projects, such as opening new trails or leading hikes, and others have helped with non-trail projects, such as the Trail Talk newsletter and the adopter's tool shed. An adopter s basic tasks are cutting brush, cleaning drainage, and removing litter.
All experience levels are welcome.
With approval from the Park Commission, some adopters may perform more complicated jobs, such as construction of water bars or rock steps. Tools are provided by the Park Commission. Three trips per year are required for most trails, and you will be asked to file three trail reports a year. The links below take you off this web site.
