The PWV do lots of things: trail maintenance, education, reporting trailhead pit toilet problems to the Forest Service. But the biggest activity they do is trail patrols.
Here’s a patrol looks like: two or more PWV members put on official-looking (but pretty unintimidating) shirts and go for a hike.
Along the way, they note any trail maintenance issues (e.g. downed tree), and…they talk to people. Including people who are breaking the rules.
