Thanks! For what it’s worth I think the agency does understand, there’s just not a lot it can do in the current political environment. Mountain-town rents for example. But I think seasonals sharing stories and supporting each other (what I try to do here) can only help.
I really enjoy this newsletter — both as a hiker who is grateful for the work of trail crews, and as a (new) seasonal farm laborer in VT. Looking forward to more beautiful posts!
I haven't seen a lot of discussion about seasonal trail work on the internet (which I'm kinda glad for tbh) but your piece is pretty and fun to read. The antlers analogy resonates. Hope your winter is falling into place nicely!
Very Impressive article. It’s too bad that the Forest service does not understand what it asks if it’s seasonal workers.
Very well written.
