## Topics

- [Structure Assessment](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/structure-assessment/) - This course will not deal with structure assessment, determining if there is a need for a structure to address a problem is an advanced skill that comes from experience with the strengths and weaknesses of various structural mitigation techniques. If you report assessments in a thorough manner, there is a very distinct possibility that problems
- [Tread Assessment](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/tread-assessment/) - Tread assessment is tied to water assessment, but the tread needs to be assessed also. Look for berms that will channel water down trail, rather than sheeting off downslope. Sheeting refers to water exiting over a larger area, as opposed to a concentrated exit, such as channel, or drain. Water that exits via sheeting is
- [Brushing & Trees on The Trail](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/brushing/) - Brushing Assessments Assessing for brushing is generally much easier than assessing for water, since, in most cases, encroachment by vegetation is readily apparent. You should keep in mind what the trail usages are, and what the standards are for trail width and overhead clearance. A multi-use trail also has a need for line-of-sight clearance when
- [Water](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/water/) - The most impactful element in trail design, usability, and maintenance is water. Water problems, left unchecked, can render a trail unusable and unmaintainable. Since water control is so important in trail health, it can be very useful to do an assessment during a rain event. What you should be looking for are signs that the
- [Potential Hazards](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/saftey/topics/potential-hazards/) - Preventing “OOPS” on The Trail An OOPS can happen at any time on the trail. Something as simple as forgetting to bring your water and staying properly hydrated, to having an accident with a tool that requires medical attention. Both are hazards that with the proper planning we can reduce the risk of them occurring.
- [Basic Maintaining Toolkit](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/tools/topics/tools/) - If you have ever visited a hardware store, you’ll know there are a lot of tools out there. There are tools specifically made for trail maintenance but you can also use many commonly found tools to get the job done. The tools I regularly carry on maintenance trips are as follows: hand loppers, folding hand
- [Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/saftey/topics/personal-protective-equipment-ppe/) - The steward should always be prepared to do the job safely and to have the essential protective gear to ensure their safety. This list includes gloves, eye protection, hearing protection when necessary, clothing that protects them from common hazards when doing trail reporting and maintenance. Footwear should be sturdy and well suited for walking, and
- [Hydration](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/saftey/topics/hydration/) - Water is essential for hydration, especially in warm weather. Raingear and snacks often will come in quite handy. Insect repellent and sunscreen are always a good idea. Many trail users and maintainers will wear permethrin impregnated clothing for insect protection, and it is always a good idea to do a tick check after being on
- [Role of Volunteers](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/volunteer-stewards/topics/role-of-volunteers/) - We all have skill sets that can contribute to trail volunteering. Not everyone can spend a week, or two, with a trail crew on larger scale projects, but those opportunities do exist, and yes, they need volunteers! Whatever you can do as a volunteer helps. It can be helping with clerical or administrative tasks, trail
- [Trail History in Pennsylvania](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/volunteer-stewards/topics/trail-history-in-pennsylvania-2/) - There’s no doubt that European settlers in Pennsylvania used, and in many cases, expanded upon existing Native American trails, often incorporating them in their push for expansion, and in troop movement during conflicts with the British, the French, and the Indians. Braddock’s Road, Forbes Road, and Warriors Path relied on existing Native American paths. There
- [Need for Volunteers](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/volunteer-stewards/topics/need-for-volunteers-2/) - Many governmental agencies tasked with maintaining Pennsylvania’s approximately 14,100 miles of trails are unable to hire enough paid staff to keep up with their ever-increasing workload. The trail volunteer community, of which you are part, is an essential cog in keeping up with this work. Volunteering and advocating for more funding of trails and trail

- [Establishing a Shared (trail) Vocabulary](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/establishing-a-shared-trail-vocabulary/) - We all experience the world differently and that’s especially true when it comes to hiking trails. A trail that’s considered easy to some, might be difficult for others. This subjectivity also exists when making trail assessments. What some people consider to be minor damage to a trail might be considered catastrophic to others, but there’s
- [Trail Assessment](https://paparksandforests.org/courses/volunteer-steward-training/lessons/trail-assessment/topics/trail-assessment/) - Assessment Forms Trail assessments are especially important as a problem caught early enough can be mitigated much more easily than an unchecked, long-term problem. Stewards can be the eyes and ears on trail networks that lack the employee numbers to monitor the entire trail system in the park, or forest district. Here is a sample

If there are any small holes, cracks, or porous surfaces, water will find a way to them. Water on the trail is no different than water on your home - if managed and addressed properly you can carry on
- [Trail Maintenance: Getting Started](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/an-overview-hiking-trail-maintenance/) - As of December 2025 the state of Pennsylvania had 124 state parks and 2.2 million acres of forest land – Explore PA Trails claims that the state boasts 650 trails stretching over 14,100 miles and counting. That’s a lot of trail to maintain. This video will ease you into the many facets of what trail
- [Switchback](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/switchback/) - A switchback enables a hiking trail to "switch" directions 180 degrees from it's current heading. This is a trail building technique is typically used to help keep the overall grade or incline of a trail manageable on steep terrain. Although they reduce strain on the hiker, they come with their own maintenance challenges as discussed
- [Hand Tool Maintenance](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/hand-tool-maintenance/) - Proper tool maintenance can save you time, money, frustration, and increase your safety factor on the trail. Preventative maintenance is a great way to become more familiar with your tools and take care of problems that might otherwise render your tool, and quite possibly your day, useless after a hike out to the job site.
- [Cutting, Picking, and More](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/cutting-picking-and-more/) - Although technology and machinery has come a long way since the first hikers wandered into the forest, most efforts regarding trail maintenance are done by hand with hand tools. Similarly to technology, hand tools have seen vast improvements and have become increasingly affordable. Take note of just how few tools are being used to complete
- [Controlling Water with Structures](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/controlling-water-with-structures/) - Whether you realize it or not, much of the water around you is being controlled with the use of manmade structures. One of the most prominent of these structures is damns, often used to create areas for recreation, provide drinking water, control flooding, or produce power. Even these immense structures are not permanent per say
- [Trails Are More Than You Think](https://paparksandforests.org/topics/trails-are-more-than-you-think/) - Trails are more thank you think, and there's more than what meets the eye when it comes to constructing them. As you'll learn throughout this series, trails require understanding user experience and implementing intentional design. Action Required Watch the below video.
