We love supporting our employees’ efforts to give back to the community through our RPAgives and RPAvolunteers programs. RPA engineer Shane Forsythe recently volunteered with the Helena Climber’s Coalition to improve the trail to the Sunset Slab climbing area on Mount Helena. This work was done with the assistance of the City of Helena Open Lands and Trails department. Over three days, nearly 20 volunteers completed trail rehabilitation and the installation of a section of cable stairs.
