Learn how to make sweet trails that can withstand heavy water use.
The best and most reliable? Register for IMBA at a 2001 Trailbuilding School close to you.
Most trail schools are hosted by a club affiliated with IMBA. They use a two-day format.
Each school offers a combination of classroom training, trail assessment, and trailwork. This prepares volunteers to become basic crew leaders and skilled trail workers.
The topics covered include trail design, water flow control, trail structure construction, and routine maintenance. Safety and use of tools are discussed and tips for organizing volunteer trail days are offered.
Many schools are taught by IMBAs award winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew.
Many schools offer tuition free of charge.
Below are the dates and locations of nearly 30 IMBA Trailbuilding Schools.
Schools were held in South Carolina and central Florida earlier this year.
For the summer and fall, there will be more IMBA Trailbuilding Schools. For more information on IMBA and how to get involved, visit the IMBA website
