Trail Steward Training Session
Learn how to support Foothills Conservancy’s new Trail Steward Program during a focused training session. Trail Stewards serve as on-the-trail observers by visiting an assigned route at least once a month and reporting maintenance needs such as fallen trees, erosion, damaged infrastructure, or other issues. Early reporting helps address problems quickly so paths remain safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. No prior trail maintenance experience is necessary. Whether you hike, run, ride, or simply enjoy being outdoors, this session explains what to watch for, how to document and submit observations, and how the program contributes to long-term care of Foothills Conservancy’s trail network. Completion of this training is required before receiving a trail assignment.
