The Trail Competency Initiative seeks to define shared language around trail skills and expertise. Currently, US Forest Service, American Trails, the Professional TrailBuilders Association (PTBA), and Indiana University’s Eppley Center are launching a robust stakeholder outreach process associated with developing competency language. Join the webinar to learn about this project, opportunities created by shared language, trail competencies as part of trail education and career pathways, the academically-led survey process that will vet the trail competencies, and how you can get involved. In addition to presentations, the webinar will include an opportunity for Q+A.
