PWORA President, Don Amador
COVID-19 MESSAGE FROM PWORA PRESIDENT
As Covid-19 related “shelter-at-home” orders and
directives remain in effect in many areas of the country, PWORA wants to assure
our network of partners, volunteers, and sponsors that we continue to work with
agency staff and other stakeholders via electronic transmissions to help build
our capacity to help land managers recover, restore, and reopen recreation
facilities damaged by previous wildfires and to prepare for the upcoming
wildfire season.
PWORA understands the frustration that is felt by many
outdoor enthusiasts who are seeing more local, state, and federal units
shuttered to help “Flatten the Curve.”
PWORA and other non-profit cooperators are also concerned
about the current group size limits, social distancing, and proposed additional
access restrictions and their effect on important volunteer trail stewardship
projects that have been put on hold until government agencies are able to have
staff once again work at, or out of, the office.
While a lot of agreements and planning efforts can be
accomplished to some degree via telework, there is no substitute for in-person
meetings, field trips, and on-the-ground collaborative trail recovery projects.
PWORA believes it is important for our network to honor
Covid-19 restrictions to protect the health of ourselves and the community. Our efforts now to mitigate the spread of the
coronavirus will help shorten the length of access restrictions and allow for
us to get back out in the field to do our recovery work.
Thanks for your support and stay well during these challenging
times. We will get through this.
Don Amador, President/CEO
