Major Functions Responsibilities may include:

  • Driving/riding an ATV safely on the project site

  • Managing tools and equipment on the project site

Working Conditions & Physical Demands Trail building requires stamina and the ability to negotiate rough, uneven, and often steep terrain while carrying tools, equipment, and a heavy daypack.

All tools are provided, but proper gear is needed from each team member.
