Trails and Facilities Service Area

The Trails and Facilities Division is under the Trails and Facilities Division manager’s direction.
The division focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of the department’s physical
assets and operations, including trail development, facilities construction, and property
maintenance on OSMP trails and trailheads. This division includes Facilities, Trails and Visitor
Access, and Engineering and Project Management work groups.

Central Services Service Area

The Central Services Division is under the Central Services Division manager’s supervision. The
division’s primary goal is to serve and support other OSMP divisions and is responsible for the
department’s daily internal operations. This division includes Real Estate, Resource Information,
Administrative, and Financial Services work groups.

Resources and Stewardship Service Area

The Resources and Stewardship Division is under the Resources and Stewardship Division
manager’s direction. The division is primarily responsible for resource management and
stewardship. This division includes the Ecological Systems, Resources and Stewardship, and
Monitoring work groups. As the OSMP land base grows, whether through direct acquisition or
through conservation easements, the challenge of managing what is under its purview increases.

Interface with Other Service Areas

The Resources and Stewardship and Community Connections and Partnerships divisions conduct
much of OSMP’s resource and visitor management. Although rangers work with all operating
service areas within the department, they work most closely with the other work groups in these
two service areas.
