Why it's important: This training will go over essential skills for advanced trail work including rock walls and trail construction on steep side slopes. Building long-lasting trails is an essential part of outdoor stewardship and building sustainable trails. When done properly, projects with rock can last much longer and be more effective at preventing erosion and keeping trail users safe. In this Friday workshop, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, including OSI Instructors who have been building and maintaining trails for decades.
This training is designed to prepare volunteers for the Bay to Bay Trail Construction project on May 10-11, 2025.
What you'll learn: This skills training will explore several advanced concepts such as trail construction with a steep slide slope and rock walls that are appropriate for multi-use trails. Trainees will come away with an enhanced ability to assess trails for practical rock work solutions.
Where you'll be: This training will be in near Fort Collins, Colorado. The exact location of the training and a detailed schedule will be provided once you have paid for the training.
