With spring right around the corner, the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) is preparing for another exciting season of Great Trails Workshops across the country. These workshops focus on the design, layout, construction, maintenance, and management of fun, sustainable off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails, with a strong emphasis on hands-on field training.
The workshops are designed for a wide range of participants, including trail managers; trail construction and maintenance supervisors and crews; engineering staff involved in trail planning, design, construction, and maintenance; trail contractors; OHV club trail volunteers; and other interested recreation and land management stakeholders.
Over the past several months, NOHVCC has also developed a contractor-focused course to complement the Great Trails program. This specialized training was created with the expertise of Jason Wells of Sasquatch Trails and Kim Fredricks of Chinook Associates, who will serve as the primary instructors. Their extensive experience in trail design and construction helps ensure participants receive practical, real-world knowledge that supports the development of high-quality, sustainable OHV trail systems.
