How you can help by reporting trail maintenance issues

3/30/2017

 
Picture
The season for hiking, riding bikes and horses is finally here! Your local parks and trails need YOUR help in identifying trail maintenance projects. The free ParkWatchReport mobile app and websites are an instantaneous way to bring a problem, concern or comment to the attention of public land management.  Park and land managers are, in turn, mobilizing their teams of volunteers and maintenance crews to address fallen trees, washed out trails, and obstacles of all kinds impede safe access our public trails.

The next time you head down your favorite trail be sure you have ParkWatchReport downloaded on your smart phone.  Open your park's page to find maps and check for alerts. Then, if you spot something significant, File a Report.  Your Report goes directly to that specific park's management for action.

The free phone app is available at Apple Store and Google Play. The same features, including File a Report, are available on the ParkWatchReport website at https://parkwatchreport.com

 If you have any questions, feel free to address them to info@parkwatchreport.com
