Over the past month we here at SCCX have been working towards a transitional plan to sustain future AAT efforts, with Terry stepping aside we needed to figure out what was next!! We spent some time PM'ing people here that have been involved with SCCX and supported the AAT's efforts, and thankfully everyone responded with great ideas and support.
Now that those plans are closer to completion, I feel very comfortable in introducing the new AAT contacts/liasons for SCCX.
Clint Bussey/Motorpig77 will be spearheading the efforts for SCCX's Adopt A Trail Program, closely supported by Erik Pollock/Celt as the two new figure heads of this great program.
The next few weeks will further organize the plans moving forward, as Clint, Erik and I will personally meet to hash out the details.
One of the thoughts coming out of early discussions is to coordinate two annual clean ups, with spontaneous efforts throughout the year. Some of the feedback that I have had regarding AAT is that it is tough to get out and work the trail spur of the moment. A hopeful solution would be to possibly schedule to consistent dates a year, which would establish a base of reported hours, as well as give folks an opportunity to plan twice a year to hopefully support AAT.
Again, I would like to thank all that responded personally to my PM's, and my only request is that you continue to support Clint and Erik's efforts moving forward.
The number one thing people can do to support this program is...show up to the trail head for the clean up xcursions!
The hours generated equates to reported hours....which equates to more federal funding for this program!!
More to come...please feel free to post below or PM me with any questions or comments!
