takeaway-front-01


Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28 2009

Are you ready to move beyond simply riding your local trails and learn to build them?


The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program is providing that opportunity in a series of more than 70 trailbuilding Schools this year and Edmonton is one of them! The Trail Care Crew experts crisscross the U.S. and Canada in their Subaru Outbacks, teaching the art and science of trailbuilding.

Trailbuilding Schools combines interactive learning, hands-on trailwork and top-notch instructors to develop skilled trailworkers and trailwork leaders.

Topics covered include:

  • Sustainable trail design
  • Basic construction
  • Turns, drainage and bridges
  • Trail Reroutes
  • Trail Reclamation
  • Rockwork
  • Effective Use of Signage

The two day trail building course will include:

  • Classroom time. Learn the theory of trail building. (only ½ a day)
  • Field time. Get hands on training while building a new piece of river valley trail. (1/2 day Saturday and Sunday)
  • Lunch will be provided both days.
