Similar to how neighborhood watch programs work, Park Watch post signs and issues easily carried laminated Park Watch cards that encourage ordinary trail users to be aware and report issues such as vandalism, downed trees blocking trails and unsafe trail behavior. The card lists emergency & dispatch numbers to call and directions on how to relay trail incident information on the web site. These cards are issued to equestrians, hikers, runners ands mountain bikers.
