WDFW ambassador program
MVTC is seeking friendly volunteers to welcome visitors to the Methow Wildlife Area on busy Saturdays this spring. This is a way to steward our recreation resources that is much less physically taxing than a work party.
Our Work
The MVTC builds and strengthens relationships among trail managers, advocates and user groups to support and enhance sustainable trail experiences in the Methow Valley.
“Realistically, the reason so many people like to live and recreate [in the Methow Valley] is the wonderful access to the outdoors that we have,” Jircik said. “So it’s important that we can take care of that access together and have good conversations about it.”
-Allen Jircik, trail manager of Methow Valley Trails Collaborative.
