Each year, parks undertake a variety of routine actions and activities that are similar in nature. For example, trails are cleared in the spring, fences are repaired, potholes are filled. These activities should be reviewed in conjunction with the park's budgetary process. Normally, budgets for these activities are developed for a given fiscal year, money is appropriated, and the work gets done. Park staff should consult with each other, develop a list of activities that would most likely be accomplished in the fiscal year, or by season, and consider covering these activities, if they meet the criteria established for a CE, in one CE document.
