[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM volunteers needed at Doc Long Hut

[Michael Madden]

FOSM volunteers needed at Doc Long Hut!



The Doc Long Picnic Area had been used for picnicking as early as 1920,
when the original Crest Highway was constructed. It was named in honor of
Dr. William Long, a forest pathologist, who studied tree disease in the
area and was partially constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The
Interpretive Hut, located within the picnic area, has long been used as a
place to welcome visitors and provide information about the area. For many
years, it was staffed by Forest Service personnel, then switched to being
staffed by local Volunteer Site Hosts, then was closed during the pandemic.
Since then, a dedicated Forest Service intern, Tony Powell, renovated the
hut, giving it a fresh new look and updated displays and information.



New volunteers are needed to share this little gem of an interpretive
center with the public. Days, times and hours are flexible, and training
will be provided. However, volunteers who are willing to dig into the depth
of resources provided and learn on their own are appreciated. If you enjoy
engaging with the public and sharing the natural wonders of this area, you
are encouraged to sign up!


If interested, please contact coordinator Julie Padilla at
