Supporting Trails On Your Public Lands
over 400 miles surrounding the wood river valley In central idaho.
Official partner of the Sawtooth National Forest Ketchum Ranger District, and the Bureau of Land Management.
By Hiring Trail Crew Members.
In 2024, we will be launching a “hybrid trail crew” arrangement, where we directly hire two crew members via the WRTC, who will be embedded with the Sawtooth National Forest - Ketchum Ranger District (KRD) trail crew for the season. Stay tuned for more information!
Through the Collection Agreement.
The U.S. Forest Service - Ketchum Ranger District (KRD) has more than 400 miles of single-track trail for a wide variety of users, from hikers to mountain bikers, equestrians to dirt bikes. The KRD lacks the appropriate annual funding to adequately finance a trail crew, and that’s where we come in. Together, with your support, we’re helping bridge that funding gap.
Through Engaging Volunteers.
We create ambassadors, through our Volunteer and Trail Stewards Programs, that can help us elevate the standard for trail work within our service area. These ambassadors are able to share our Mission and Vision with the broader community and help us strengthen our partnerships with federal land management. Through our Trail Bosses Program, volunteers can gain approval for independent project leadership, where they increase our organizational capacity for accomplishing more trail work.
With Consistent Data Collection.
The Trail Use Monitoring Program was created in 2021 to better understand trail user patterns and obtain up-to-date data on our valley’s hiking, biking, and riding trails. The program uses specialized trail counting equipment and software, and observations collected by volunteers, to continuously assess use levels and traffic patterns on trails in the Wood River Valley.
Building a donor and member-base that reflects our community and feels accessible to anyone who feels connected to our trails and mission.
