Rapid Response Volunteers

Forest Park Conservancy's Rapid Response Team is made up of volunteers who each adopt a hiking route and collectively survey all 47 miles of soft-surface trail in Forest Park following a big storm. The information gathered from our Rapid Response Team members is used by Forest Park Conservancy to pinpoint and remove passage barriers and/or safety hazards on the trails of Forest Park. For more information on joining the Rapid Response Team, check our Events Calendar for upcoming trainings, or email us at info@forestparkconservancy.org.

If you're assigned to a route, you can choose an opportunity, register through the system, hike your route, and then update your hours, reporting back what you found.

Once you've registered for a volunteer event, we ask that you hike your route within two weeks of registering. The dates on the volunteer opportunity page are not the dates by which you must hike your route, but allow us to have standing volunteer opportunities by month!

For reference, here are the Rapid Response routes.
