Developing a clearinghouse of training and resources at TrailsTraining.com
Studying target audiences, delivery methods, and special needs
Identifying needs and gaps in existing trail training
Publicizing model statewide programs for trails training cooperation
Creating individual state pages in the Web site to highlight training providers and resources in all 50 States.

As the lead trail organization for the Partnership, American Trails is also providing on-line details of businesses, products, and services that support trail planning, improvement, and education. We're also doing research to identify needs as well as resources in priority areas such as accessible trails, volunteer development, funding, trail design, construction, and maintenance, nonprofit management, strategic planning, and liability. American Trails is also seeking grants to support the program and develop new training materials and curricula. We're eager to promote your trails training and publications in our featured training opportunities pages and resources & library area.

The National Trails Training Partnership wants to work with you and agencies and trails organizations nationwide to make training more available. Please add a link to http://www.Trail Training.net from your own website. Send us your scheduled workshops and classes, new resources and publications, and suggestions or questions.
