INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. April 5, 2010 - Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and partners for the 5th Annual Trails and Outdoor Leadership Workshop at Washoe County's Galena Creek Park! Each year, local trails organizations and agencies gather to train trail crews and volunteers in the art and science of trails at our nationally recognized workshop.
The weekend kicks off with a trail design and layout workshop, followed by two days of construction seminars. Courses available include; basic trail building, advanced trail seminar, trail design & layout, and crew leadership. The weekend is an excellent way to network with local trail volunteers and professionals and learn how trails are planned, constructed and maintained. Training is supported through the Nevada State Parks Recreational Trails Program, and participants pay a small fee of $85 (3-days) or $70 (2-days) to cover instruction, park lodging, food, training materials and transportation to class sites.

Participants will be sent a gear list and must bring long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots and work gloves.
