Speaker Bio:
Gwen developed and conducts 3-Day and 1-Day Trail Stewardship Workshops to prepare volunteers interested in preserving shared-use non-motorized trails. The Workshops also train volunteers and agency personnel to work together in order to maintain sustainable trails and to possibly layout and construct reroutes or connectors, if needed, to bypass unsustainable portions of the trails. 2-Day Packing Clinics are also offered for a more “land friendly” approach for packing gravel, tools and materials for trail work. Other educational programs have also been produces from 1 hour to one day regarding “Leave no Trace/Ride Smart” to educate non-motorized trail users about appropriate behavior and shared use ethics while enjoying our great outdoors.
The overall goal of the PEC Trail Committee is to prepare and preserve Pennsylvania’s trails for the benefit and cooperative use of hikers, bikers, and equestrians.
Gwen is also a member of the American Horse Council’s Recreation Committee and the PA Trails Advisory Committee.
