A trail management program designed to support and foster coordinated trail development and maintenance programs involving public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

The program is aimed at providing opportunities for youth organizations to develop and practice leadership, team work, and trail design, planning, construction and maintenance skills while working on projects on public lands. The program will include activities such as conducting trail surveys and grade line design, completing necessary studies and evaluations, preparing project plans, building new trail, completing condition inspections of existing trails, and completing maintenance on existing trails, and installing or maintaining trail signs or markers, acquisition of easements or rights of ways where needed, and administering and coordinating program activities.
