CCC Opportunities

Modeled after the Depression-era CCC, RLHT’s Community Conservation Corps provides healthy outdoor opportunities for our community to maintain and improve our region’s recreational infrastructure. 

Trail Monitor

TM commit to walking a trail every two weeks throughout a season. Then use their smartphone to complete a Trail Hazard and Maintenance Report. The app is a NEW resource to keep our trails open and accessible!

Trail Ambassador

Love to take photos and talk to people? We are always in need of photographs of visitors on conservation lands. We also love to hear their connections to the area and record use details.

Trail Steward

TS work with RLHT staff to maintain a different our trails and those of our partner's. They are available to work on special projects, e.g., bog bridging, replacing picnic tables, resurfacing paths, etc.

Byway Ambassador

Like the other Ambassadors, this volunteer position is for those who love to take photos and talk to people. They greet visitors at Height of Land, Whip Willow Overlook and the Nancy A Perlson Turnout, assisting with images, offering maps, and spreading RLHT's mission.
