With the support of the ROCC, volunteer citizens of Ridgway and a hired staff member from the NFS, approximately 1000+ trail users were educated as to proper use of wilderness area lands. According to Diane Thompson, those contacted have responded positively to the information they have received and appreciative of the efforts to protect and preserve this area. Erica Tucker NFS employee has the exact number of contacts made. Roze Evans and Kate Kellogg have been very involved in the organizing, implementation and success of this progam.
