We are again offering an opportunity for OTA Volunteers, Land Managers and Partnes to participate in learning about what it takes to care for multi-use trails. From trail construction and maintenance to tool care and equipment to providing an opportunity to become a USFS Certified Chainsaw or Crosscut saw operator. We will also offer recertification for those who are due.
We will base out of the Winona Work Station with limited bunking (first come) and camping in the yard. There is also a hotel in Mountain Home 20 minutes away. Cost per participant is $30.
More details are being formulated and will be posted as we finalize them. Kathie Brennan
