14 - 16 May 2010, Fri - Sun. High Cascade Forest Volunteers Trail Skills College. Westfir Intermediate School. Trail enthusiasts who have always wondered about how hiking trails are built or how to stabilize a crumbling slope are invited to the Trails Skills College, 14-16 May 2010 at the school location just west of Oakridge on Hwy-58. This will be a chance to get outside and have fun helping to save our trails. The joint training and certification program is hosted by the High Cascade Forest Volunteers (HCFV) and the PCTA. A mixture of classroom and field sessions is planned; instructors will be drawn from the trail volunteer community, PCTA staff, and from National Forest Service personnel. In addition to the Trail Skills College, certification courses are offered in First Aid, CPR, and saw certification. Tent camping is available on the field behind the school; RVs can be parked at the front, and there is a campground nearby but with a hook-up fee. Breakfasts and evening meals are provided. The event runs from Fri noon to Sun pm with a 4-hr session on Fri and 8-hr sessions on the weekend. See: Curriculum Overview .
