New Crew Leader Training - May 18-19, 2013
Learn what it takes to be a TRTA Crew Leader!
Description: This training will teach participants the basics of leading trail crews with the TRTA. Topics will include safety, volunteer leadership, trail layout and design concepts, emergency communications, and TRTA work day procedures and briefings, etc. On Saturday we will focus on the role of Crew Leaders and the important functions that must happen at each work day. Sunday will focus on trail building basics and design and layout concepts(classroom) followed by trail assessment. This course is focused on the leadership roles of a crew leader and not on how to build trail. It is designed for individuals that have some experience with trail work. We will not be building any trail during the course. Current TRTA crew leaders are welcome to attend as well for a refresher!
