This org does a lot of good trail work. Some work parties are uncomfortable depending on participants and how they interact; too many preconceived ideas on part of some teenagers & young adults, imo. Discouraging to avid hikers when attitude is 'doesn't matter what gets done' and something that was just built gets destroyed by participant to build something else (lack of supervision or leaders who want to be encouraging no matter what). These things make you feel like volunteering somewhere else (it's not just me who reacts this way) or doing some other fun, less frustrating activity. Despite all that, regular volunteers and leaders are generally competent and helpful and very nice and in the end, a lot of great work gets accomplished.
