Abstract

The region we were working in was along the corridor of the Pacific Northwest Trail within the Washington section of the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, which was about 15 miles of walking trails, switchbacks, river crossings and riparian area bridges. The crew I was assigned to work with consisted of 5 other individuals, my two crew leads Maddie and Miles, along with 3 other crew members, Naveen, Hilary, and Makenna. I really enjoyed working with this crew for a few reasons, most importantly we all are deeply committed to the protection and the preservation of natural resources. Secondly, we have all had similar experiences within the Northwest hiking, camping, and recreating. Lastly, we can all agree that the outdoors is an inclusive safe place for everyone of all backgrounds. Some of the learning objectives we were tasked with include, learning how to build and maintain trails oriented along the Pacific Northwest Trail corridor via use of power tools and analog tools along with working on eroded or unmaintained tread.
