White Pass Trail Skills College
The White Pass Trail Skills College is a free weekend event for volunteers to learn about trail maintenance and stewardship. Beginners and experts alike can benefit from Trail Skills College courses like Tread Reconstruction, Basic Saw Crew Training and more.
Trail Skills College is offered free of charge in an effort to inspire stewardship of trails. In exchange for attending the training, we encourage you to volunteer at least 16 hours of work on trail projects in the coming year.
When is it?
The PCTA is not hosting a White Pass Trail Skills College in 2021. Please consider joining us once a month for online trail skills trainings instead.
Can’t wait?
Don’t forget, you can learn new trail maintenance skills by volunteering on a PCTA trail crew any time. Most crews don’t require any previous trail maintenance experience. Knowledgeable and experienced crew leaders are on site to teach you the necessary skills. Visit the online volunteer schedule to find trail projects near you.
