A Partnership for Sustainable Trails
Another way we will showcase "Solutions for Success" is through a partnership with the Professional TrailBuilders Association (PTBA). American Trails and PTBA will offer a series of hands-on workshops focusing on the important skills and techniques involved in the sustainable design, planning, construction, and maintenance of trails for all types of users in all types of environments.
