Mike was succeeded by Rebecca Wanagel in 2022. Wearing a second hat as the trail project director for the Peninsula chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen of Washington, she greatly expanded the interaction and cooperation between the two groups. Due to her love of the Olympic Peninsula backcountry, Rebecca has expanded the group's activities to include multi-day trail crews mostly in the Olympic National Park, while still leading day or weekend crews in the Olympic National Forest.
Rebecca also volunteers as a certified saw instructor / evaluator for BCHW. Martin Knowles does this as well. That way we are able to keep the skilled sawyers with the Graywolf Crew and BCHW current with their saw cards.
As from the beginning, the Gray Wolf trail crew is fully a volunteer organization. Some join with previous trail crew experience from other groups, but others have joined as complete newcomers to the world of trail maintenance. Volunteers are welcome to work at as many, or as few, work parties as their desire, abilities, and availability permit. We welcome all those interested in seeing if trail work is where you might fit. See our page on What We Do for specifics on our actual trail crew activities.
If you wish to support the Gray Wolf trail crew, we are always in need of new tools and gear. Please contact us.
