Description:
Do you recreate on trails in the San Luis Valley? Take this opportunity to learn how you can give back directly to your favorite places! In partnership with the Continental Divide Trail Coaltion, VOC's Outdoor Stewardship Institute is hosting this one day workshop to anyone interested in learning skills to become a trail adopter.
Using the Outdoor Stewardship Institute's (OSI) Independent Stewardship for Trails curriculum, trainees will gain the skills necessary to perform needed trail maintenance tasks independently and in small groups. Topics covered will include trail tread and corridor maintenance, as well as maintenance and construction of drainage features such as knicks and dips. Trainees will also receive a short review of volunteer leadership, risk management, and tool safety topics.
Training Cost Information:OSI trainings are offered for a nominal fee to cover materials and instructor costs. They are limited in size to ensure their effectiveness and often fill quickly. Cost of this training is $40.00

Project Summary: Kim Frederick taught the Trail Adopter class with Sally Wier (VOC) two staff from the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (Morgan Anderson and Chad Angell). 9 were from local SLV community, 11 were brought in from CDTC. Good cross training and learning across groups and organizations. CDTC had several SLV people that came through VOC adopt sections of the CDT. One man from the CDT subsequently attended an OSI cross cut certification class.
Successes and Challenges: Good classroom space in the South Fork Fire Station (free).
Good trail to learn on at Beaver Mountain Trail about a 5 minute drive from the classroom.
