Paperback. Condition: Fair. * Comprehensive text on building and maintaining trails * The latest in effective management of work crews of all ages * How to build sustainable trails to fit dwindling park maintenance budgets * For weekend volunteers, youth group leaders, outing club members, and anyone involved in caring for the land For half a century, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) has inspired people of all ages to take part in projects that enhance the environment.
