Volunteer Trail Planning, Building and Maintaining Course
We are currently recruiting and training tutors to deliver our pilot DIRTT course - we expect courses to be online by February 2022.
We are creating a range of courses, starting with a Volunteer Trail Planning, Building and Maintaining Course, to support the sustainable development of trails across Scotland.
Mountain biking is growing across Europe and a good proportion of this growth can be attributed to an increasing number of trails that have been purpose-built to meet the needs of mountain bikers. To help ensure this anticipated growth is sustainable, delivers quality user experiences, ensures public resources are effectively deployed and help mitigate against any environmental impact from the location and construction of the trails there is a demand for guidelines and a suite of training courses on trail construction based on a quality assured body of knowledge.
DMBinS is a key partner in this EU Erasmus+ programme that is developing the content, resources, recruiting and training tutors and developing a pilot course aimed at volunteers, largely involved with trails associations.
