Someone would want to hire me for trail work, because I am determined and have desire. I love to push myself to new limits. I worked for the CCC Backcountry Trails Program last summer of 06. There I got much experience building and maintaining trails and cpr/first aid training.

Any trail related job would be great, but would like one in the backcountry, where you're in the forest for long periods of time. Also interested in being an animal packer. I would like to be in northern California, Oregan, or Washington. I am honestly a small girl, but this does not get in the way of what I am capable of doing. This summer proved that to me, and I became very strong mentally and physically. That was the best time of my life I've had so far. I miss being in the outdoors, and I want to get back into shape. That environment was where I felt at home.

With over 8 years of trail construction experience, I can be effective on your project from day one. I have worked primarily on Federal and State private contracts in the western U.S., working for leaders of the PTA community (hello guys!). I've completed jobs of all types including Wilderness and power equipment jobs and am comfortable in any trailwork environment. I am an expert on both Morrison and conventional excavators. I have extensive experience and skills directly related to trail construction including sawyer, puncheon, turnpike, stringer bridges, and blasting (do not hold licence). Proven ability to take a job from start to finish sucessfully, not matter the situation. I work in the contractor interest to get the job done!

Do you have a technical job? I have been a crew chief for land surveyor for the last five years and can now bring technical expertise to the trail construction field. Need to position a bridge to tight specs? Do you have a ADA trail with tight slope or curve specs? I can do it and document to the client that it's correct.  I have extensive GPS/GIS experience, but use Don Hays Contracting for that, he's the best!  I have been accident free for entire career aside from a hernia over a decade ago. Still fit and ready to go.

I am between projects with the aerial mapping company that I work for now and am hoping to fit in a trail construction project. I will consider any offer, especially anything unique or entertaining. I would be very interested in a Public entity project that requires leadership, design, planning, or inventorying responsibilities. Willing and able to travel anywhere for the right job, but prefer the West. I get along with a wide variety of people. That is one of the best things about trailwork, you never know who you will meet!

I am a very hard worker and I am very dedicated to everything I do. I take direction very well and am also a strong leader if the need arises. I am an outdoor enthusiast and absolutely love everything pertaining to nature. I have never had a job clearing trails, but i have spent a great deal of time outdoors and have helped clear trails on a friend's land for hunting purposes. I do a lot of hiking, biking, skiing, running, and have recently started kayaking, so I am in good shape and have endurance. I am also an experienced climber and feel very comfortable hiking or climbing most terrain. I can also speak spanish well, not completely fluently but I should fluent be by the end of this semester.

I would like to have a job were I can be outside because I feel very comfortable in the woods. I think this would be a great experience for me and a good chance to spend my summer doing what i love. I will be available from aroung May 12 to August 20. I would prefer a job that provides housing, and I am willing to spend time camping out whenever neccesary. I would like to be in Montana if possible but I am willing to travel to any of the suurounding states(Wyoming, Washington, California, Colorado, or the Dakotas).

I've done trail work with Vermont Youth Conservation Corps in Townshend, VT building an 80-step stone staircase and maintaining another trail. Also, I've worked a summer landscaping and gaining experience with stone work. I'm comfortable in the backcountry and I am a trainee for the Colorado College Ooutdoor Recreation Club leaders, which includes certifications such as Wilderness First Aid and CPR. I've done a lot of labor around my house before my summer jobs, and I would say that I'm accustomed to hard labor.

I am originally from Vermont and would like to spend my summer back east, however, I am very willing to travel if a an opening in another region is available. I have from mid-May to late August off from school, so that is about the time that I'm available to work. Trailwork and stonework have always been two things that I have really wanted to do, and I really loved my work for Vermont Youth Conservation Corps. The idea of working outside in the backcountry this summer is very pleasing to me, and I can't imagine a better summer job. Part of the reason for my interest in trail-building is the challenge that it would provide me with living away from home for my first full summer gone. Being a college student without a car also presents another problem at home because any job at home requires me to drive. If I can live outdoors and camp nearby the work site and bike or hike to work, it would be the ideal set-up.

I am looking for an oppertunity to explore Alaska this summer through trail work employment. Last summer I volunteered working on the Continental Divide Trail and I loved the experience. However, I found myself a bit behind on funds when finished. My goal is to drive to Alaska this summer on my own, and to have a job oppertunity once I get there would be a dream come true. Currently, I am the Colorado State University swim coach looking for an awesome adventure this summer. Thank you. Kaitlin

I am an increbily hard worker that requires an abundance of time outside surrounded by beautiful scenery and interesting people.
