QUESNEL – With the hot weather kicking in, it’s a reason to get out on some trails. But, what if you could work on them for a living? The College of New Caledonia launched a new Trails Design and Maintenance Program at its Quesnel campus today. Students will have the chance to learn how to design, build and sustain recreation trails.
“What a great opportunity for these students and an even better opportunity for Quesnel,” said Ian van Leusden, Trails Coordinator, City of Quesnel and Cariboo Regional District. “I’m grateful to be a part of this. The next couple of years are going to be very exciting for trails and trail development.”
Trail and park builder, Justin Truelove will be teaching the trails training component. Students will be trained in trail assessment, design, troubleshooting, sustainability, mapping and safety.
The program also includes ATV operator, GPS, chainsaw, wilderness first aid and BC wildfire courses.
