Caretaker for Blackburn Trail Center -- Immediate Opening
PATC’s Blackburn Trail Center has an immediate need for a caretaker. The beautiful facility is a premier AT stop for through hikers as well as those out on a day hike.
Blackburn is important to the work of the club hosting work crews, training, and other volunteer activities. The caretaker maintains the trail center, the hikers’ cabin, and the campground. The caretaker is the host to weary hikers and should know about the Appalachian Trail.
Getting along with a variety of people is a must! The caretaker lives on site in an apartment with a queen bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. The season is April through October but can be extended. One person can be the caretaker, or a couple can do it.
If interested, send a letter of application, resume, and professional/personal references to Chris Brunton, e-mail trailbossbtc@msn.com. If you have questions, including on salary and benefit details, call Chris at 703/967-2226.
