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.

This training is designed to prepare volunteers for the Gilsonite Trail project on July 18-19.

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.
