The program will deploy two crews of six WCC members, including experienced NPS leaders, who will undertake critical work. This includes repairing flood-impacted trails, such as constructing a 1,500-foot re-route on the Carbon River section, and building approximately one mile of new trail to replace destroyed segments. Work is scheduled from July 2009 to September 2010, ensuring high-standard trail integrity.
