Supporting the Park Overseers will include planning and facilitating meetings of both the Park Overseers group as a whole, as well as some of the three working groups that that focus on 1) access into and within the parks, 2) public education about the parks, and 3) restoration and maintenance projects within the parks. In addition, the Project Manager will manage some of the projects taken on by the working groups.
