Northeast Trailworks

Humans have been making trails for millennia, but it's really only the past several years that a science behind sustainable trail building has arisen.  And here at Northeast Trailworks, LLP, we've taken our decades of experiences from being on both well-designed trails and no-so-well designed trails and have developed a good understanding of what works and where. 

This experience, plus practice-affirming courses highlighting the tenets of sustainable trail design have positioned us to be ready to help with just about any trails project--from large to small, from planning to building, to maintenance or repairs.
