Volunteer Bike Patrol Recruitment for the C&O
Canal

The C&O Canal Bike Patrol is gearing up for
another successful season on the
towpath and is currently recruiting volunteers.
Volunteer members of the bike
patrol ride the towpath in pairs assisting
rangers and visitors by providing
information on the park resources and safety,
resource protection reminders, and
first aid.  Currently, bike patrol members have
been patrolling the Great Falls,
Williamsport and Cumberland areas of the park.
This season, the program is
expanding to three new sites along the canal:
Georgetown, Brunswick, and
Hancock.  Applications are now being accepted.
Selected candidates are required
to complete a 17-hour training course to begin
in April.  For more information
or an application, call 301-767-3706 or 301-714-
2238.   Or e-mail
