Parks, Open Space, and Placemaking
Trails
As an avid hiker and biker, I love trails and linear parks. For the past 20 years, I've worked and volunteered to repay the benefits I have enjoyed living in California, Texas, New England, and New York. I've organized hundreds of volunteer workdays, and I enjoy working with groups to figure out how to adopt, improve, and maintain trails and the parks and natural landscapes that surround them. I now volunteer for several Boston-area parks organizations.

members from the Texas Conservation Corps work to move boulders to repair creek edge damage in Barton Creek, Austin TX in summer, 2011.
at Barton Creek trailhead. I think I'm referring to the "blood zone" and keeping safe distances between volunteers when using picks.
and some of the great volunteers that helped us over the years - here we celebrate a new trailside kiosk.
