Crew Leaders
Lead Groups of Volunteers Today!
We need individuals who are experienced in trail building and/or love the outdoors
to join our team as a crew leader. Your mission as a crew leader is to instruct
a group of volunteers on the principles of working safely to build a great trail,
and, then, to supervise and direct the crew as they work on an assigned segment
of the trail. As a crew leader, for the most part, you will not personally be building
the trails, but directing and supervising the volunteers.
A short training session will be required for you to attend before leading a group.
This training session will teach you about the tools, techniques, safety, and trail
standards associated with the Falling Run Greenspace. Below is a resource available
to you. Please take some time to review this material as part of your preparation.The
resource include:
