Essentially, fixing and beautifying all the places and facilities that are needed to support recreation on the SNRA (picnic sites, whitewater boat access sites, campsites, trailheads, hot springs facilities, etc). While doing work, you will also assist in visitor contacts and education to help better inform SNRA visitors about how to be good stewards of the land.
