This is the scenario in a lot of parks, generally speaking park rangers don't do much dirt related work. Their scope of work on trails is deadfall on trails and an occasional water bar. Some would like to do more but don't have the time or direction to do so. Park Rangers spend a lot of time setting up for programs, patrolling, cleaning bathrooms, emptying garbage cans, liter picking, cutting grass, posting for hunting, answering a complaint...
I don't know of any, but I haven't checked into it. The MCPS Volunteer coordinator told Admin that she needed someone on trails to lead volunteers on new trail builds as well as maintain existing ones. The director of parks saw that new trails were not getting built, even though we had the land and volunteers willing to work. Fortunately my name was suggested for the job, despite working in the golf division for the last 20 yrs. I didn't hesitate to take the new position.
This is true. Sports facilities, park programs, Seven Presidents Beach, the 7 County golf courses are revenue generating sources for the park system. With that, we do not want to cater to one user group, and try to offer park users a bit of everything. This is why mtbers need to tread lightly and get a long with all user groups.
