Volunteer Trail Construction and Management Training

AusCycling engaged Blue Sky Trails and Natural Trails to develop and deliver volunteer trail construction and management training to MTB clubs across NSW and QLD.

This training provided attendees with a solid foundation in sustainable trail design and development, methods to address frequently encountered issues, stakeholder engagement strategies, and construction and maintenance techniques.

The sessions were delivered over two days with half the time spent on theory components and half on practical trail building and maintenance. The sessions have developed volunteer trail care team leaders for the clubs involved as well as improving how the clubs work with land owners and managers.
