Trailhead Outreach
The primary goal of this program is to reach winter backcountry recreationists at local trailheads and inform them of the forecasting services and education opportunities the center provides to their community. NWAC’s Trailhead Outreach Program’s success is driven by its simplicity – volunteers connect with recreationists at popular trailheads with easy access to avalanche terrain. We train volunteers to set-up tents and tables with outreach information and to engage with the public.
This program wouldn’t be possible without the support of volunteers, so please consider joining NWAC at a Trailhead Outreach event this season!
