Date: April 4th 2012
Hey there,
Here’s a way to volunteer and still get to be out on
the trails hiking, Wilderness Stewardship. As one of our partners in trail
preservation and maintenance, the Mt. Hood National Forest, we are most happy
to help them out in any way we can. Thus I’m sending this request out for
volunteers to join in their Stewardship program. This is a great way to get out
in the wilderness and also help the Forest Service!
Attached you will find two files that you can print out for
your records/needs. There is an explanation of the program and the other is all
the information you will need to get to the training session in May. But here’s
a quick reference to the information in those files!
What is a Wilderness Steward? A Wilderness Steward is anyone who can help us maintain,
protect and restore the wilderness character in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
Specific activities can include:
§ Spending weekends or weekdays in the
wilderness at popular destinations making visitor contacts and monitoring
conditions along with doing some site cleanup (usually minimal). Your role will
be education, not enforcement.
§ Helping develop wilderness brochures,
publications, and web-site information.
§ Entering wilderness data into a computer.
§ Assisting with trail maintenance and/or
site restoration projects.
