“Our agency manages the statewide system of parks and forests, all with countless numbers of trails in need of critical infrastructure improvements and maintenance. DCR’s partnership with SCA AmeriCorps is an essential component to keeping our trails safe, enjoyable, and open! The crews come to our parks and forests with the expertise and goal-oriented work ethic needed to efficiently and successfully complete trail projects. Ranging from simple to complex, the crews are required to balance recreation with conservation while interacting positively with the public as they pass by. SCA is great partner in allowing the agency to carry out its mission of providing high quality recreational experiences to the public while conserving and stewarding our natural resources.”
