The Shuswap Trail Alliance is holding its second annual trail building seminar – Workshop in the Woods on Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20.
Part of a Shuswap Trail Stewards program, the workshop is intended as a training seminar for people wanting to learn about trail building and maintenance.
The Friday night session runs at Okanagan College and includes a discussion on the background and theory behind trail building, the role of the alliance in the community, the stewardship program, and how people can get involved, and more.
On Saturday participants will meet “in the field” at Pileated Woods to learn several hands-on skills.
There is a $45 fee for the course, which will be waived in exchange for three volunteer days worked on the trails during the season.
All ages of volunteers are invited to take the workshop, and for more experienced trail builders, there will be an advanced training session with a focus on armouring and cornering.
For more information, call Carmen Massey at 250-835-8766.
