BOTH FRIDAY EVENING AND SATURDAY MORNING SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BECOME A TRAIL HOST This training is "Part 2" to certify as a volunteer Trail Host, the "eyes and ears" of Loveland Open Lands & Trails, gathering data, noting maintenance needs, and interacting with the public at city natural areas. No experience necessary, all training and materials are provided FREE. This on-site training will include detailed information, regulations and resources, making contact with the public, and reporting data collected while hosting. This field session will involve putting these new skills to use with other trainees and visitors at Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park. As a group we will caravan up to VSMP and include seeing the west side natural areas on our way up. A love of the outdoors and willingness to interact with visitors are a definite plus. Trail hosts may also enjoy fishing, hiking, bird watching, walking your dog (on a leash), looking for plants, even doing plein air painting while volunteering! Appropriate for those previously trained who would like a refresher (attend classroom or field session or both). Background check required to host. After training, actual hosting times and sites are at the discretion of the trail host.
