trail management

Trail management involves planning, maintaining, and monitoring trails to ensure they remain accessible, safe, and environmentally sustainable. It includes activities like repairing erosion, clearing obstructions, and restoring natural habitats, while also managing how people use the trails to prevent damage. Effective trail management balances recreational needs with conservation efforts, ensuring trails can be enjoyed by future generations while protecting the surrounding ecosystems. It often involves collaboration among land managers, conservationists, and communities to create well-maintained, sustainable, and enjoyable outdoor experiences.
