Trail Ambassador Program
The Inyo National Forest provides us with so much. A respite from the stresses of modern society, with immeasurably beautiful sunrises and sets, it allows us to experience the world through our first-person lens, to create memories we will forever cherish. Friends of the Inyo believes that it is our collective responsibility to care for the land, and put into it as much as we get out. Last year, our two Trail Ambassadors dedicated their summer to caring for the Inyo National Forest. In under three months of traveling the trails between Big Pine Creek and Parker Lake, Astra Lincoln and Alex Ertaud were able to accomplish some staggering work:
Last summer’s work made one thing clear: the Inyo National Forest needs Trail Ambassadors. So let’s double the program. In 2018, Friends of the Inyo hopes to hire four staff to work from Horseshoe Meadows to Lundy Canyon, leading interpretive hikes, coordinating volunteer projects for visiting youth, and completing critical trail work all summer long.
To meet this goal, we need your help to raise $100,000.
