Structure of The Rovers

Board of Directors

The Rovers is kind of unique in its structure. We have a board that is responsible for fund raising, legal matters, insurance, budgets, financials, strategic planning and long-term goals and keeping us true to our mission statement.

Crew Council

Crew Council determines what happens on the ground and all logistics. 

The Crew Council is composed presently of 4 Crew Leaders and 6 Team Leads. 

Some responsibilities are: review & finalize projects, approve season crew work calendar, training, recruitment, social events, provide input into tool procurement and tool maintenance.

Job Selection

Work requests come to us via email, via phone calls, partners, and our website.  Decision on the worksite is driven by the traffic on that trail, remediation of potential trail hazards, ecological impact on the area.  The Crew Council decides on the job(s) based how desirable would it be for the crew to work in that location.
