The extraordinary increase in activity has put a strain on trails. The series help educate citizens about safe and responsible trail use and teaches basic trail building skills. The workshops are hands-on and are held in two sessions. The first session includes construction, maintenance and renovation, and the second section includes blazing of new trails. Citizens can register for both sessions.
Children are welcome to participate, if accompanied by an adult.
Participants should bring gloves, a brown bag lunch, plenty of water and appropriate dress for the weather. Each year, the State Forest and Park Service coordinates a series of voluntary training opportunities to engage citizens in trail preservation activities.
