FTA Trail Work Projects

Our goal is to do at least one trail work project a month. We have been working closely with State Parks and Rec, the Western States Trail groups, FATRAC (mountain biking group) and the Forest Service. Greg Wells, a Parks and Rec ranger, and Mark Lambert, a Forest Service ranger, gave us training in Trail Design and Maintenance techniques. (If you don't have a web browser that understands frames try this link). The class will be repeated in the fall.
