Trails are used for, getting to markets, schools and hospitals. They are also connections between communities and families. Most users of the world's trails aren't walking. Environmental change, deforestation and other factors are impacting heavily on trail networks and the often marginalised communities that depend on them. Trail erosion is a problem that will continue to grow, and is a serious issue.
Degraded trails have an adverse effect on the surrounding environment and population.
This is where we come in. Our research tells us that, although there are many organisations working in the field of development or conservation, trail improvement work is often not considered a priority. We have the experience and skills to provide an excellent service to organisations active in conservation or sustainable development. From producing sustainable management plans to training a workforce, we can provide the highest standards of environmental intervention.
