Now Accepting Applications for the NCHC Trail Schools
A 2009 Trail School is being conducted by the North Carolina Horse Council. Sign up today as space is limited to 15 people.
Nationally recognized course for individuals (both professional and volunteer) to receive certification in multi-use trail design, construction, and maintenance, as well as developing expertise in the leadership of trail work crews. The course consists of both interactive classroom sessions and practical field application of the classroom concepts. Emphasis will be placed on covering the latest advances in trail design and construction to minimize erosion, user impact, and user conflicts, along with techniques for long-term sustainability and ease of maintenance.
The Trail Master Certification Course is being held at Uwharrie National Forest. The course is sponsored by the North Carolina Horse Council and is funded through a grant from the North Carolina Recreational Trails Program. Thanks to this generous education grant, much of the $300/person tuition has been covered. Graduates of the course will be encouraged to share their trail building skills and expertise with the local trail groups and land managers in their area in the development and maintenance of equestrian, biking, and/or hiking trails.
