Equestrian Trail Design and Best Practices: From Backcountry to Urban Edge Settings
Показать описание
Recorded 09/18/2019
The presenters will review best practices for trail design planning, construction, and management in undeveloped natural areas and connecting to urban edge settings. The webinar will include trailhead development, urban to wildland transition design, and equestrian trail features to provide best sustainability and lowest impact.
Jim Coffman with Coffman Studio will discuss the 'merge/transition' areas from towns to wild land trails— how to design/where/how many, etc. Matt Woodson with Okanogan Trail Construction will then pick up and bring listeners into the mountains to discuss both trail techniques as well as best practices for equestrian use for maximum sustainability. Representatives from the Equine Land Conservation Resource and Backcountry Horsemen of America will open the webinar with introductions.
Learning Objectives:
- Improvement/re-alignment tips and techniques for degraded trails to help provide maximum durability and optimum sustainability.
- Backcountry trail design and key points to consider for deciding optimum placement.
- Key points for designing wildland to urban edge trail transitions for user/community friendly access and reduction of 'social' non-authorized trails and access points.
