Picture
This event is completed.

Saturday, April 22, 2017 , 9 am—3 pm
Whipple Dam State Park, Petersburg, PA

Join Keystone Trails Association for Trail Care 101 
  • Have you wanted to join a Trail Care, Trail Crew, or Code Orange but felt unprepared?
  • Are you interested in finding a way to give back to the trails?
  • Are you curious about why trails are built and maintained differently, in different places?
  • Learn the skills, the lingo, the why and how of trail care, and the safety precautions you need to know to be a Trail Maintainer! 

Trail Workshop Schedule:
9 am—12 pm: “Trail Care 101—The Open Classroom” taught by Ed Lawrence, KTA Trail Care Chair 
  • What are the projects, duties, and tools you’ll encounter at Trail Care, and how to handle them
  • Dos and Don’ts: Trail Care Leaders don’t all agree, but they can all be right
  • What projects are planned for the 2017 Trail Care and Crew Schedule with KTA
  • Judgment-Free Q&A 
12:30 pm—3 pm: Hike around the lake for hands-on training and discussion of lessons learned.
  • Apply what you learned in the morning as you see trails with new eyes, and get answers to all the new questions that arise.
