SUMMARY:Ride Leader Training at Sandy Ridge - 8/6
DESCRIPTION:NWTA is hosting an Introduction to Ride Leader Training in partnership with Elaine B. Bikes. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nNWTA is hosting an Introduction to Ride Leader Training in partnership with Elaine B. Bikes. This training is a basic introduction to leading rides and what tasks need to happen before\, during & after a ride\, and what to do if something goes wrong. This training is designed to increase the confidence of anyone interested in leading\, co-leading\, or sweeping (riding at the back) a ride at any level.  \n\n\n\nYou will learn how to describe the trail\, pace your group and set expectations for the ride. We will discuss the difference between a skills/clinic instructor and a ride leader\, important safety considerations and even practice skills to help you monitor your riders and what to do if something unexpected happens along the way! This class is also a good introduction to leading rides for anyone interested in becoming a certified Ride Leader. (Visit https://icp.bike/ride-leader/ for more information) \n\n\n\nLeading or helping with group rides is a fun way to find riding buddies\, share enthusiasm for mountain biking\, build community and grow the sport. As a ride leader you will be introducing people to new ways to enjoy a ride more comfortably\, safely\, and confidently. You will also be increasing trail stewardship by getting riders at any level\, especially beginners into the sport or a new to them trail system and creating community for folks new to the area. This training is open to all levels of riders; beginner to advanced.  \n\n\n\nNote: This is not a skills clinic\, and skills will not be coached at this clinic \n\n\n\nThis class is limited to NWTA members (see other information on how to become a member if you are not already).  \n\n\n\nPre-registration for this training is required. \n\n\n\nTopics covered in training: \n\n\n\n\nPreparing for a ride\, including planning and the ride\, \n\n\n\nLearning what goes in your backpack and what to bring along\n\n\n\nHow to assess whether a rider is at a level to enjoy the ride you’re planning\n\n\n\nHow to manage the group and what to do if something goes wrong\n\n\n\nHow to describe upcoming trail features\n\n\n\nPractice leading and sweeping a ride\n\n\n\nDiscussing liability: what is your exposure?

SUMMARY:Tour of Active Harvest Operations @ Tualatin Mountain Forest (Rocky Point) - 4/17
DESCRIPTION:Tour of Active Harvest Operations – Research Forest Education Day \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin OSU Forestry Extension\, OSU Research Forests and NWTA for an education tour of active harvest operations on the Tualatin Mountain Research Forest. \n\n\n\nNorthwest Trail Alliance is excited to partner with Oregon State University for a unique\, behind-the-scenes educational opportunity on recently acquired forest land. \n\n\n\nThis property\, formerly owned by Weyerhaeuser\, is now owned by OSU and managed as a Research Forest. For years\, NWTA held a lease on this land and built a well-loved trail system that has become deeply valued by the local community. With this transition to public ownership\, active forest management will look different — guided by research\, long-term stewardship\, and education. \n\n\n\nOSU has proven to be a thoughtful and collaborative partner\, and we’re excited to begin a series of educational opportunities starting with a guided Tour of Active Harvest Operations. \n\n\n\nThis tour will provide: \n\n\n\n\nInsight into how harvest operations function within a Research Forest\n\n\n\nA look at how land management decisions are made\n\n\n\nA better understanding of how recreation and forestry can coexist\n\n\n\nOpportunities to ask questions and build relationships with OSU staff\n\n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity for trail stewards\, riders\, and community members who are invested in the future of this property. \n\n\n\nCome prepared: \n\n\n\n\nWarm layers\n\n\n\nRain jacket\n\n\n\nClosed toed shoes\n\n\n\nWater/Snacks/Lunch\n\n\n\nHard Hats will be provided\n\n\n\n\nHave questions?
