Press Release: Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship
Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship's new Trail Academy Pro course series will take your trail design, construction, and maintenance skills to a whole new level in just four weeks.
This October, you can spend four weeks with our professional trail staff learning in-depth concepts that aren’t taught in our free Trail Academy classes. In Trail Academy Pro, we’ll dive deep into complex topics like mapping, sustainable trail design, progressive construction techniques, and even more.
You’ll have access to a private Slack channel with our staff for one-on-one support and get to complete fun homework assignments that will reinforce class lessons. Gain new skills in a supportive environment and sign up for Trail Academy Pro today!

- Weekly two-hour interactive sessions led by SCMTS staff and expert guest speakers
- Class outlines and fun homework assignments after each class completion
- Ongoing support as you learn brand-new trail building skills in just four weeks
- Access to a public forum for students and SCMTS staff to exchange support
- Option to schedule a call with our staff after the course to provide support or advice on a trail project or other trail-related topic
- One 30 minute optional IT course on using Zoom, Google Drive, and Slack to make the most of your experience
Course Schedule
The course is every Wednesday in October 2021 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Live participation is recommended, however, participants will have access to watch the recorded videos on their own time following each class.

As noted by a friend I shared this information with yesterday, you can get a full set of Trail Boss trail building tools for around the same price.
I love that the course exists, I just wish it were more accessible.
The next update is that Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz is now Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship. When they finally get back to talking about classes, they have a "paid" model.
When will the world learn that "premium," "plus," or "pro" paid models don't work for everything? It sucks the life out of the core members who support your organization, platform, or product.
