Hello,
This is from the 2021 Goals page.
The Trail Crew would work on trails on Federal Public Domain Land. Many of these lands do not have a dedicated Trail Crew to improve or even maintain the nation's trails. There is no Trial Crew run by Federal Employees, so there is indeed a market failure here. The golden age (1960s/1970s) of lavish spending on recreation on the USFS started to come to an end as fires in the west progressively got worst after the 1990s. However, there is hope with the Great American Outdoors Act passed in 2020.
Environment. Sustainable trails that have the least amount of impact on the ecology.
Economy. Increase the quality of a positive outdoor tourism experience.
Society. Trail Crews will be mainly outfitted by tourists from all of the world who get to meet new people, and learn more skills, share their skills, have fellowship together, create new friendships, and become future Crew Leaders for their communities.
Please see our Trail Crew Information page for more details.
Please provide any feedback or recommendations below.
Thank you for reading.
