Position Overview
Trail Crew members work to enhance and protect the trail system in several ways. Trail Crew members monitor the trail system for hazards such as fallen trees, excess erosion, boardwalk and bridge damage, and check trail signs and other markings for damage. Trail Crew members can also work on the invasive species early detection program in
conjunction with National Park Service personnel. This program provides ongoing monitoring along trails and roadsides of the national park where new invasive plant outbreaks often occur. Discovering invasives before they become well established is critical to reducing damage to ecosystem integrity, preventing the loss of habitat for rare plants and animals, and preventing costly natural resource management.
