Registration under way for trail workshop at WCU
Volunteers interested in assisting with construction and maintenance of a new trail at Western Carolina University are invited to participate in a free trail-building workshop on campus from 9 a.m. until noon Saturday, March 24.
The workshop will include a required classroom session in The Cats Den in Brown Hall led by a trail care crew from the International Mountain Bicycling Association plus lunch and afternoon work on the trails. Participants are invited to stay for a 7 p.m. screening of "Pedal Driven, a Bike-umentary" in the multipurpose room of WCU's A.K. Hinds University Center.
The training will prepare volunteers to be part of the effort to build a five-mile, multiuse trail at WCU for walkers, hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers this spring and summer.
Hosting the trail-building workshop is WCU and the Nantahala Area chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association/International Mountain Bicycling Association. www.imba.com/tcc/schedule or 828.227.3466 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
