The Trail Sustainability Institute (TSI) presents its first focused clinic on how to properly bench cut a trail. This clinic’s instruction centers around the proper techniques and approaches when establishing or maintaining a trail’s bench.

What the heck is a bench? We are glad you asked!

A bench is what is left after the excavation of a hillside to create a back slope and trail tread. This can be the most substantial part of establishing a trail that winds along a hillside.

Join TSI while we pilot this skill-specific clinic. As we look to the future, we hope to offer more opportunities for these types of distinctive skill-building clinics. Stay tuned!
