Foundations of Sustainable Trails: A Trail from Start to Finish

In this holiday season while we all are sitting snug by the fire strategizing for next year’s projects, I wanted to share this resource produced by American Trails. Foundations of Sustainable Trails: A Trail from Start to Finish (Online Training) – American Trails. This five-part online training discusses what it means for a trail to be sustainable. It describes the lifecycle of sustainable trails and includes lessons on hydrology, structures, tools, tread and alignment. ​​ These are all important concepts if you are seeking to make trail improvements for not only sustainability but also accessibility for visitors of varying abilities.
