Sand Canyon needs trail volunteers
San Juan Mountains Association in partnership with Canyons of the Ancients National Monument (CANM) is recruiting volunteer trail information specialists at Sand Canyon in Cortez.
Volunteers will be trained in interacting with the public that uses the Sand Canyon and East Rock areas of the Monument.
Specifically, volunteers will be hiking, biking or horseback riding the Sand Canyon Trail area during high-use times of the year and informing the public about Leave No Trace ethics, as well as CANM regulations.
Volunteers will also be educated in the biological and cultural resources that make the monument unique and how to avoid disturbing them. Uniforms, nametags and training are provided.
This is a public contact program and anyone interested in preserving the natural beauty of Sand Canyon is welcome to apply.
Contact Kathe@sjma.org or 385.1310 if interested.
