SUMMARY:Trailbuilding Workshop with Willie Bittner
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder how a trail actually gets built? \nJoin us for a full day\, hands on Trailbuilding Workshop with Willie Bittner\, of Great Lakes Trailbuilders\, and spend the day learning the craft behind the Driftless Trail. \nThis workshop is designed as a true learning experience. 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

SUMMARY:Driftless Trail Workday
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, April 11th from 9:00 am–4:00 pm (we may wrap up earlier) for a Driftless Trail workday as we prepare the Welsh Hills segment for its grand opening! \nVolunteers will help with touch-ups along the full trail corridor to ensure it’s ready to welcome hikers. Projects will include leaf-blowing the “Resort Bypass” stretch so visitors can clearly see and safely navigate around any tripping hazards like small stumps\, along with general cleanup and finishing details throughout the trail. \nThe trail features moderate terrain\, including some hills and uneven ground\, so come prepared for a good hike while you work. No prior trail experience is necessary… we’ll provide guidance\, tools\, and everything you need to feel comfortable and confident on the land. \nThis is a great opportunity to spend time on the land and experience the newly completed 2.6-mile loop before it officially opens. The ridge section of the Welsh Hills Trail—now part of the regional Driftless Trail—offers stunning views of the Wisconsin River\, the Wyoming and Lowery Creek valleys\, Taliesin estate\, and the restored Welsh Hills landscape. \nPlease register in advance to confirm your attendance so we can plan tools\, supplies\, and support accordingly. \nWe hope you’ll join us to help get this special stretch of the Driftless Trail ready to welcome the community!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Confirm Your Attendance
