Training

SnowHawk LLC provides training in several aspects of trail design and construction, with an emphasis on actively involving participants in experiential learning. I’ve been involved with trail skills training since 1991 and am especially fond of teaching land stewards, volunteers, school groups, conservation corps, and others that are new to participating in trail work.

SnowHawk LLC can organize anything from a one hour lecture to a multi-day experience for large groups and are known to partner with other trail folks that have specific areas of expertise, whether it’s in a local park or a remote backcountry setting. The goal is to teach recognized best practices and skills in a relaxed and safe environment with the best instructors.

We can provide instruction in:

  • Trail Design and Layout
  • Trail Maintenance and Erosion Control
  • New Trail Construction
  • Native Timber Construction
  • Rock Construction
  • Carpentry (Buildings and Trail)
  • Basic Woodworking
