Why it's important: This training will go over essential skills for trail maintenance, trail construction, and trail drainage. When constructed and maintained properly, trails can go years without constant maintenance 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 Gilsonite Trail project on July 18-19.
What you'll learn: This skills training will explore several trail skills concepts such as trail construction/re-routes, trail maintenance, and trail drainage through hands on instruction and experience. Trainees will also get a chance to talk through some of the bridges and turnpikes that will be constructed during the project in the following days. Trainees will come away with an enhanced ability to assess trails for practical trail maintenance solutions and sustainable trail construction.
Where you'll be: This training will be in near Granby, Colorado. The exact location of the training and a detailed schedule will be provided two weeks out from the training date.
