Introducing the Ketchum Ranger District Trail Crew

These are the magical humans gettin' it done out there! They’re effective, resilient, gritty trail stewards who put a lot of love into the trails in our community. From top left to right you have the Trails Supervisor - Kent May, Dan Forsythe, Amy Sevick and Nick Reed. From bottom left to right you have Lisa Meister, Emily Ainsworth and Heather Johnson.

These strong men and women are out there every week making sure your trails are in tip top shape! Please say thank you if you see them out on the trails!

The KRD lacks the appropriate annual funding to adequately finance a trail crew for routine maintenance and new trail projects. Without predictable federal funding, the Forest Service struggles to keep up with the constant workload and backlog of trail maintenance. This is where we come in! One of our focus areas is financially supporting our local land management agencies’ trail crews so they can worry less about money and more about digging in the dirt! Our goal is to give our land management agencies the financial security to plan for years in advance with trail projects, routine maintenance and hiring crew members.

Currently, the WRTC has a Collection Agreement with the Sawtooth National Forest – Ketchum Ranger District for $40,000/year to fund multiple trail crew member positions.
