DESCRIPTION:If you’re curious what it’s like to volunteer for Trail Care\, this is the webinar for you! KTA will be hosting a live Q&A with a panel of active Trail Care Program Volunteers to help you feel comfortable and excited about trying trail maintenance! What types of skills will you learn? Do you need experience? Which trails need the most love? How does it all work? Who will teach me? These questions and more will be discussed!  \n\n\n\nRegister here.
