This course teaches the student the proper techniques for the layout and design and construction and maintenance of sustainable trails with minimal environmental impact. Participants will be those of you who desire to work with land managers to help develop sustainable equestrian trails systems on public lands.

This course is sponsored by the American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC). Florida Forever Back Country Horsemen, Inc.

Cost for AERC members is $120 to purchase equipment needed for the course. The class is limited to 10 AERC members on a first come, first serve basis. There will also be space for two land managers to attend. The class is four full days with a half day of classroom presentation and a half day in the field each day.

The course will be held 4 miles from the intersection of US 98 and I75 (exit 301 on I75). There are a number of lodging options in that vicinity. Motels include Hampton Inn, Best Western, Days Inn and Holiday Inn Express. There are a couple of local B&Bs and there is a RV campground within a mile of the course in the Withlacoochee State Forest Silver Lake campground complex. There are also a number of AERC members in the area who you may want to contact for a place to stay.

We would like to thank AERC for providing this course.

We would also like thank Winnie Schreiber, Forest Supervisor of Withlacoochee State Forest (WSF), Ken Mclaughlin, Director of Recreation WSF, and Mark Good, Supervisor of the Croom Tract of the WSF for their help and support in this effort.
