Trailwork

Trailwork is the construction and maintenance of trails. Whether it’s for hiking, biking, skiing, or riding ATVs, most people never witness the process of building or maintaining a trail. There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes in the forest! Properly constructed trails are designed for safe use, optimal drainage, reduced erosion, and more. Showcased here are trailwork training workshops and 3 types of trailwork projects, including backcountry rockwork, construction of staircases and belay pads with dimensional lumber, and construction of surface trails.
