Trail Ambassadors

The Trail Ambassador program began in 2007 and expands the type of volunteer activitives available to the public.  Instead of doing typical "trail work" the club has always done with dirt and shovels, our Trail Ambassadors provide a valuable service to the park through volunteer-based guide services, park interpretive information, and trail patrol functions.

Kennesaw Mountain topped the charts in 2010 as the most-visited Civil War battlefield park in the country with  1,512,191 visitors!  The park staff does not have the man-power to maintain 20+ miles of trails and they welcome the assistance of Trail Club volunteers.

After completing the training course, Trail Ambassadors work in coordination with the park ranger staff and notify them of emergencies and regulatory or resource violations on the trail system. Volunteers are trained by the National Park Service Staff to handle trail violators with appropriate dialog to avoid unpleasant confrontations.

Trail Ambassadors strive to educate park users to respect and enjoy the historical aspects of the park while obeying trail regulations.
Some of our major challenges are:
  • Dogs off leash
  • Cars failing to stop for pedestrians at cross walks
  • Equestrians and hikers going off the designated trails
