This hands-on, small group workshop is the next best thing to a custom trail design workshop on your own site. We'll be in the field for all of both days; NO classroom time. Emphasis is on identifying problems and generating context-appropriate solutions, optimizing trails and sites, learning to work with trails as seasoned trail experts do, i.e., intuitively, structurally, and aesthetically at the same time, and shaping lively, wonderful, fun, and sustainable natural surface trails for any type of use you want to work with (hike, bike, horse, accessible, OHV, etc.)

Dates: Monday, March 18
Cost: $200 (lunch included)
Instructors: Greg Mazu, Singletrack Trails (PTBA Member), Scott Linnenburger, Kay-Linn Enterprises (PTBA Member)

This workshop will walk attendees through decision points along that final part of the trail design process.  We will work with established and approved corridor flag lines, discussing the elements of making an optimized final trail location that minimizes construction impacts and future maintenance/management issues and maximizes a durable, high quality trail experience.
