It is with sadness that I write to say farewell and thank you for two wonderful years of dedicated teamwork, great times, and fantastic accomplishments in Forest Park. In April, I will be leaving FPC and starting a new job in the Adirondack State Park in New York. While I will sincerely miss Forest Park and everyone in the FPC community. But, I am excited to work close to home again, be with my family, and get back to working on the trails in the Adirondacks where my passion for this work began. The past two years in Portland have taught me what endless motivation in a caring community of stewards can accomplish, and I thank all of you for that.
Forest Park and all who travel along its trails have benefitted from your support and service over the years. I will continue to do my best over the next two months to keep improving Forest Park trails and lead fun, safe, and productive work events.
If you know anyone interested in the Trails Manager position, please encourage them to apply here before March 18th.
With gratitude,
Ryan Graig
