MTG is offering a free Trail Adopter & Trail Maintenance Training in partnership with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado’s Outdoor Stewardship Institute (OSI). The exponential rise in public land visitation during COVID-19 has taken a toll on trails in Southwest Colorado. We need your help to care for the trails you love. By participating in this course, you’ll learn how to maintain, and restore your favorite trails on your own or with a small team.
