This Advanced Trail School will focus on teaching the skills to reinforce berms with stone pavers on flow trails. Learn this rare skill from the expert local stewardship team who has decades of collective experience.

Northwest Trail Alliance’s Trail Sustainability Institute’s goal is to foster a culture of land stewardship within the mountain bike community. By training people to build sustainable trails, and by training people to lead crews of trail builders, we are raising the level of our own stewardship, and increasing our capacity to build and maintain quality trails.
