Grand Canyon Conservancy hosts PSAR symposium April 27-29 at South Rim

Have you encountered a PSAR Ranger on the trail? On April 27-29, Grand Canyon National Park hosted a Preventive Search and Rescue (PSAR) Symposium where PSAR employees and volunteers from 31 different National Park Service gathered to share best practices and lessons learned in the field, examine case reviews, and perform trainings. Program managers and volunteers from across the country attended sessions covering a variety of topics, such as heat illness and hyponatremia, the effectiveness of messaging and signage, the importance of tracking your impact and measuring prevention, program planning, volunteer management and risk mitigation, trail and radio scenarios and peer support and self-care. The Symposium was made possible through the support of Grand Canyon Conservancy donors.
