Prepare the trail corridor for construction through vegetation clearing, tree and obstacle removal, material management, and other site preparation while protecting surrounding resources.

Construct the trail tread through excavation, bench construction, shaping, grading, compaction, finishwork, and management of excavated materials.

Construct drainage features to manage surface or subsurface water where trail alignment, grade, and tread shape alone are not sufficient.

Construct rock hardening, aggregate surfacing, or other tread treatments where native tread alone does not provide the durability, stability, or finished surface needed.

Construct bridges, boardwalks, retaining walls, steps, raised trail structures, and other structural elements needed to support the trail or address site conditions.

Construct natural, enhanced natural, or built features designed to create a particular trail experience, challenge, skill opportunity, or user-specific function.

Restore and naturalize areas disturbed by trail construction, including temporary access, staging areas, disturbed ground, and other construction impacts.

Decommission existing trails or routes and restore the former trail corridor through tread treatment, stabilization, drainage restoration, naturalization, and other site-specific treatments.
