Outdoor and Rec Athletics 0175 - Trail Maintenance & Restoration

Participants in this course will inspect, assess and document trail conditions on publicly accessible lands near campus and in the Hampshire woods. We will work in conjunction with local land stewards to move toward living out land acknowledgements. Participants will clear trails of blowdown debris, maintain accessible trail widths, and address wet, damaged or eroded areas through trail relocations, dirtwork, stonework or woodwork. Participants will use saws, loppers and other hand tools. 5-College students will be graded pass/fail.
