Trail Crew Leader Training - April 18 & 19   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #588 of 615 |
Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates has several projects planned for 2009 and we need trained trail crew leaders to help us out.

If you would like to learn the right way to design and build trail, here's a great way to get started.  Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) in connection with the City of Colorado Springs Parks Department is holding a crew leader training seminar over the weekend of April 18 and 19.  More information here.

MWTA will provide you with a copy of the book "IMBA Trail Solutions" (click here to see a sample), the bible of MTB trail building, and we'll pay for your seminar with VOC over the weekend.  In return, we will ask that you agree to co-lead at least three trail work sessions in 2009.  That's it!

The projects we have on the schedule include:
  • Bear Creek West Singletrack - about two miles of brand new singletrack trail on the west end of Bear Creek Park, near Section 16.
  • Palmer Park trail maintenance - Palmer Park needs our help, so we'll have several days scheduled for trail maintenance, repair, and even new build trail as we re-route the extra bad sections.
  • Ute Valley Park - a small project to finish up the new trail that we started last fall, as well as some maintenance and re-routes.
Some trail building experience is recommended by VOC, but if you haven't been to a trail building day, we can provide you with some experience and training prior to the seminar weekend.

Come on down and get some training as a crew leader.  Spots are limited, so if you are interested, please send me an email to reserve a place.
