The second group of Operator trainee's completed initial training this past weekend.   Both of the NWTA resources who went thru July training have been greenlighted by instructor for further training.   In total, there were 10 resources who went thru both 2-day training sessions.  These were opportunities both for partner agency/organization resources as well as our own NWTA resources to get trained up on use of ST240 for construction of single track trails.
