Upcoming Trail Crew leadership training in Belmont

(Mailing List Information, including unsubscription instructions are
located at the end of this message)

This comes from Patty Ciesla of V-O-Cal. She keeps pretty busy creating and maintaining access to trails all over Northern California, and is working in Belmont now:


I am trying to find some people to attend V-O-Cal's volunteer trail crew
leader trainings this Sunday, and also next week. I'm asking for your help.
Could you please forward this to your volunteers, and encourage people to
participate? The training is free and the only obligation is that we
request people work on at least one of our projects this year. Our
training is designed to teach people important leadership skills in working
with groups of volunteers, as well as the technical skills needed to build
new trails and maintain old ones. If you are hoping to build your volunteer
programs, our training can help you educate and grow your volunteers to
become leaders.



Info on our trainings is available here:
http://www.v-o-cal.org/prog/train.html



We will be having a project in Martinez on June 2/3, and in Felton on August
12-12 (the hike-horse only River Trail), as well as other places such as
Angel Island on July 28-29, Calistoga Oat Hill Mine Trail on Oct 27-28,
Sonoma Mountain in late Sept, Oakland's Joaquin Miller Park Oct 6-7. Our
website hasn't been totally updated with all these new dates, but general
info about what we do is available here: http://www.v-o-cal.org/index.html



Can you please help a bit with recruiting for me to find some folks who
might want to be a part of this? Ideally I'd like to find people who might
work on the Martinez project or the Felton project. But mostly I'm trying to
get enough people in the trainings to have a good group size, which is
really important for the training itself. So even if I get people to join
the trainings who never do a VOCal project it will allow me to help train
other crew leaders who will.

about an hour to reflect this)
