Trail Building and Maintenance Workshop

Have you ever wondered how the trails you hike or ride on were constructed and how they are maintained? The New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors will be conducting its annual Trails Workshop on two Saturdays in March in cooperation with the Albuquerque Open Space Division. The first session on March 14 is an introduction to trail work consisting of an indoor class followed by some outdoor practice in the Tijeras Canyon Biozone Open Space. In addition to a Meetup RSVP, you MUST ALSO REGISTER and obtain more information by going to a detailed project description on NMVFO’s website: Trail Workshop - Classroom (CABQ Open Space) - New Mexico Volunteers For The Outdoors. Space is limited, so sign up soon.

There is a second session on March 21 that offers supervised on-the-job training, also in the Tijeras Canyon Open Space. The March 14 introductory session is NOT a prerequisite for this field training project, which is also open to more experienced trail workers. If you think you may be interested, here’s a link to the project description: Trail Workshop - Field (CABQ Open Space) - New Mexico Volunteers For The Outdoors.

Thanks for your interest,
