Trail Host Training - "Classroom" Session (Sat am session also required)  - River's Edge Natural Area (960 W 1st St)

Friday, 31 May 2024 @ 04:30 PM to 07:00 PM

Training Opportunity  -  Adult Programs

BOTH FRIDAY EVENING AND SATURDAY MORNING SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY AS A TRAIL HOST This training begins your certification to volunteer as a Trail Host, to be 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. First 30 min. of training will be informational: what trail hosts do, time commitments, locations for hosting, scheduling, and a training overview. Based on this information, those interested in trail hosting may stay for the remainder of the training session. The remainder of classroom training will include more detailed information on the above subjects along with regulations and resources at each area, making contact with the public, and reporting data collected while hosting. 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 on-site field session, or both). Background check required to host. After training, actual hosting times and sites are at the discretion of the trail host.
