Crew Leadership for Trails Training @ Mesa/Delta Counties

This course is ideal for those who have prior trail project experience.

One well-trained Crew Leader can guide up to ten people on a trail construction or maintenance project, and this two-day training will expand your ability to perform high-quality stewardship work. Each trainee will receive hands-on training in effective crew leadership as well as the construction and maintenance of sustainable trails, including tool use and safety. You will also receive a Crew Leader Manual, a set of quick reference cards, and other materials to take home and apply directly to stewardship projects.

Please note the classroom portion of this training will be held Friday evening, March 27, from 6:00 – 8:30 PM in Delta. The trail portion will be held Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM in the Palisade Rim/Plunge area. This course also features an online component** prior to the workshop in order to maximize efficiency and on-the-ground coursework; the online course is self-paced and takes 4-5 hours to complete.
