If you are an avid hiker, trail runner, mountain biker, and/or backpacker you may have wondered at some point who built the trails you enjoy and how are they maintained. Join us for a workshop, which will provide you with a combination of classroom and field introductory training. Learn about trails as they exist today and how you can help preserve them for your enjoyment and that of future generations. Two separate classroom sessions will be held: (1) at REI – Santa Fe on April 18 starting at 2:00PM and lasting approximately 1.5 hours, and (2) at REI – Albuquerque on April 22 starting at 6:30PM and lasting approximately 1.5 hours. The follow-up field training will be held in Albuquerque at Elena Gallegos Open Space in the Sandia Mountain foothills on May 2. You will need appropriate clothing and work gloves for the field session. There will be several different projects to choose from. Attendance at the classroom session IS NOT mandatory. You may attend the classroom session only and select from a different project organized and led by the NMVFO throughout the year in various locations (go to www.nmvfo.org and click on “Projects Page” for our schedule).
