Summary: The Outdoor Stewardship Institute (OSI) will present an exciting training program for trail crew leadership in Durango with our partners at Trails 2000.
Description:
This two-day training will introduce the fundamentals of successful volunteer crew management for the construction and maintenance of sustainable trails. Through classroom sessions, field exercises and role-playing you'll learn and practice construction and maintenance of sustainable trails, leadership strategies and techniques, tool use, and safety. All trainees will receive a Crew Leader manual, a set of quick reference cards, and other materials that make for a successful crew leadership experience. All training topics are directly applicable to any non-profit or agency trail maintenance or construction project! This workshop is best for individuals who have had experience working on trail projects or previous crew leadership experiences.

Key Concerns or Comments from Staff or Volunteers:
Description of Accidents/Incidents: VOC had a great experience working with trails 2000. The mt bike group is focused primarily on trails directly in or on the outskirts of Durango. We were asked by Mary Monroe, the executive director, to emphasize volunteer leadership skills rather than hard skills.
At the conclusion of the project we received positive feedback from the participants and there is a possibility that we may execute another training in 2015.
