Volunteers on the Trail (12/31/69)
Volunteers on the Trail
Within the past few months some of LOBO’s members have become Mountain Bike Patrol volunteers, for the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, one of our most important goals is to improve the quality of the natural and recreational experience of visitors from supplying directions and offering maps and information to Hikers, Equestrians and cyclists. During any given patrol, we may be called upon to perform a wide variety of duties; from supplying directions and offering maps and information, to encouraging or exacting compliance with the parks' rules and regulations — even contacting and coordinating the resources needed to respond to emergency situations that may arise.
Mountain Bike Patrol volunteers not law enforcement, but work in partnership and communication with the authorized law enforcement agencies and as such are responsible for observing and recognizing any acts that may constitute a potential health hazard to the safety of people and property.
Why volunteer?
There is a gap in coverage for the trails that we support and use.
To supplement the small amount of resources and people available to area land-managers.
Creates ambassador opportunities for the mountain bike community.
