The first year I was with the <a href="http://www.vycc.org/" rel="nofollow">Vermont Youth Conservation Corps</a>, which does all kinds of conservation work in Vermont, and the past two I've been with <a href="http://www.atis-web.com" rel="nofollow">ATIS</a>. There's so many organizations out there, which lets you choose quite a bit about your existence on a trail crew. One of the main problems of making it a lifestyle is how seasonal it is, but every once in a while you find a few who manage. The ones I know couple the outdoor work with something related during the winter - one is an author, the other runs non-profits dedicated to trail improvement. It's something that I hope to do one day, to be outdoors and help get other people out as well.
