The slide presentation will provide background history of the Paige Bar sub-watershed demonstration project and some of the different techniques used during the project to convert an old logging road into a trail. Participants will stop at various locations on the trail and discuss how the reconstruction of poorly designed roads can restore natural landscapes, reduce potential for gullies and landslides, and protect riparian habitat. Other topics for discussion will include issues such as erosion, hydrology, sedimentation, the proper use of heavy equipment, and re-vegetation practices. Trail is moderately strenuous, with narrow rocky areas, with an elevation gain of about 440 feet and is 2.2 miles in length. Participants should wear sturdy shoes.
Portions are accessible to non-motorized chairs.
Narrow and rocky stream crossings. The ASI ATV Rider Course provides hands-on training, with emphasis on the safety implication relating to each lesson. Students will learn basic techniques for riding an all-terrain vehicle responsibly. Students participate in both discussion and riding lessons to increase safety awareness and skills. Adaptive riding techniques also taught.
