St. Louis County Parks invites geocachers to become TRAIL WATCH VOLUNTEERS!

Trail Watcher

There are over 140 miles of trails in St. Louis County Parks and your help is needed to monitor them. As a Trail Watch Volunteer, you’ll assist Park Rangers in keeping our trails safe and enjoyable for all! Volunteers, ages 16 years and older, must attend an initial 2-hour orientation (which requires pre-registration) at which Park Rangers will teach trail etiquette and reporting procedures. Trail Watch Volunteers serve as “ambassadors” and will not be asked to intervene in potentially dangerous situations, only to report them. After the orientation, they will be issued a Trail Watch Vest and ID Badge.

Winter/Spring 2013 Trail Watch Orientations

Wednesday, February 13 at Museum of Transportation from 7-9 pm

Tuesday, March 12 at St. Vincent Community Center from 7-9 pm

Wednesday, April 17 at Affton Community Center from 7-9 pm

Monday, May 6 at Tilles Park from 7-9 pm

Cabin Fever Bring your favorite food to share as we get together for a meet-and-greet on Saturday, January 26th, at Jefferson Barracks Park to focus on getting to know each other and the many new cachers in the area. Starting at 11:00 am, we will have a silent auction, games, hot food, geocaching milestone awards, and will swap caching stories inside the heated Grant Pavilion. The winners of the 2012 SLAGA Travel Bug Race will be announced at this event. This is also a good opportunity to invite local land managers that you have personally worked with. Please contact your local land manager or parks department and invite them to come out. We will also have a drop-off spot for those wanting to donate canned goods to a local food pantry. Sign up by logging your "Will Attend" on the cache page.
