I'm not sure if Yosemite would allow that sort of volunteering or not. I suppose the park may be more open to low risk positions.

In terms of trail crews last year Yosemite for the first time opened up to volunteers. The PCTA led the first crew and left a good impression. Unfortunately the second crew which was not PCTA had an injury and now once again volunteers have been wiped off the board. It's really tragic considering this may have led to a whole new level of cooperation between agencies and ultimately could have spawned a whole new generation of volunteers. I suppose we will have to wait until the park superintendent retires and then maybe we can give it another shot. frown
