The outdoor sessions will cover practical topics on trail maintenance, such as stormwater management, vegetation (invasive and native) management, and volunteer recruitment and management for paved, gravel, and natural surface trails.
The event, sponsored by the Clean Air Council, is scheduled from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM (lunch included) at Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center in Cobbs Creek Park.
