      Work with Rangers to improve the trails in the River Park! Unmaintained trails can quickly become rutted, unstable, or eroded, and are generally unpleasant to hike, bike, or ride a horse on. Tasks can include clearing and creating drainages, filling ruts, trimming plants, weed whipping overgrown areas, resurfacing trails, and more.  More Info.
