Trail patrol volunteers hike independently on any of the Metro Parks trails of their choice and establish their own patrol schedules. While hiking the trails, volunteers count the number of trail users they encounter, pick up litter and record trail maintenance problems on a report. Volunteers should patrol one to two hours per week during the spring, summer and fall. Participation in this program during the winter is optional. Volunteers are needed to provide information to visitors in this room, answer questions, and prevent visitors from disturbing the animals.
Training is provided and volunteers are asked to volunteer a minimum of two hours per month.
Volunteers are needed during the spring, summer and fall to help keep landscaped areas looking beautiful by removing weeds, and assisting with other projects such as breaking up soil and adding mulch around tree rings. Volunteers are needed one to three hours a week. Inc. Akron, Ohio.
