The morning will focus on field based instruction at the south end of Taliesin’s Welsh Hills. Field work will focus on turning a roughed-in segment of trail into a sustainable\, well-constructed trail using a variety of hand tools. \nIf you have been curious about trail work but have not jumped in yet\, this is a great place to start. It is a supportive\, low stakes environment to dip your toe into trail building ahead of the summer season. \nBy the end of the day\, you will not just understand how trails are built. You will have helped shape one. \nWhether you are brand new to trail work or looking to deepen your skills\, this is a meaningful way to connect with the land and contribute to something lasting in the Driftless Area.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://driftlessconservancy.org/event/driftless-trail-building-workshop/ LOCATION:Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center\, 5607 County Rd C\, Spring Green\, WI\, 53588\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Events,Driftless Trail,Volunteer ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://driftlessconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Driftless-Trail-Workshop-wWillie-Bitner.png ORGANIZER;CN="Driftless Area Land Conservancy":MAILTO:info@driftlessconservancy.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260506 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260507 DTSTAMP:20260415T093156 CREATED:20260320T220000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260319T192711Z UID:10000292-1778025600-1778111999@driftlessconservancy.org SUMMARY:DALC Spring Social DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Driftless Area Land Conservancy’s Spring Social on Wednesday\, May 6th. \nThis year’s gathering is an opportunity to celebrate an exciting chapter for DALC.
