Crafting a sustainable legacy, one trail at a time.
Our Story
Sustainable Trail Design has been a lifelong journey in the making. I found a deep connection with nature through hiking and spending time in the forest as far back as I can remember. I wish to help others find the same, by creating the best trails possible to guide them along the way on their own journeys of discovery and adventure. While studying Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Vermont I knew I was destined for a career in conservation. After spending the last sixteen years and countless hours in the field designing, constructing, maintaining, restoring, assessing, mapping, and understanding trails I have honed my craft. I possess a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of trails that which I want to share for the benefit of both humans and nature.

Why Sustainable Trails?
Simple. Sustainably built trail…

– Produces negligible soil loss or movement while allowing vegetation to inhabit the area

– Does not adversely affect the area’s animal life
– Accommodates existing use while allowing only appropriate future use
– Requires little rerouting and minimal long term maintenance

“Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher ‘standard of living’ is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.” — Aldo Leopold
