As you know, the District staff is no longer collecting & tracking our hours.
Amanda, Acting District Ranger, now expects us to do so.
She doesn't care how we do it, and doesn't have a template for us to use... 'Just Do It'.
So Silke Bletzer created master spreadsheet, and Rav Nicholson has graciously agreed to enter your hours.
Thank you Silke and Rav!
This is a request for your individual volunteer hours since the start of the Forest Service Fiscal Year... Oct 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024.
The weekly crew leaders(Bob, Sam, Laura) have already provided their crew hours, so if you signed an attendance sheet, those hours are covered.
Basically, report any and all individual time spent in a FOSM activity which pertains to the District.
The following are some thought starters, and not meant to be a comprehensive list:
- any hours serving the District while acting on your own or with companions. This may also include any work done following a weekly crew.
- any hikes with findings or work done which was reported to CTR.
- any training hours, such as sawyer certifications or medical classes.
- any upkeep hours, such as physical inventory, organizing the Guard Station, purchasing supplies, tool maintenance.
- any administrative hours, such as the website, archives, meetings, project reports, Treasurer reports.
- any hours to plan or work the Snowshoe Classic.
- any Adopt-A-Trail or Adopt-A-Drop hours. (Dan Benton is the Coordinator)
- and be sure to include any travel time both ways.
Do not report:
- any hours where you were a part of a weekly crew and entered your name on a sign-in sheet, as those hours are tracked separately.
- any Adopt-A-Highway clean-up hours, as this is an arrangement with NMDOT.
- any Sandia Crest Historic Sign hours at the new roundabout, as this is an arrangement with NMDOT.
- any wildlife drinker hours for Bernalillo County.
For this catch-up exercise, we just need a list of dates and your hours, no task description.
We sincerely appreciate everything that you do!
Mike Madden
FOSM President
