Trail consulting

We're here to provide expert pre-construction consulting.

Turn your trail vision into reality.

We provide practical, terrain-informed guidance to land managers, municipalities, nonprofits, and trail advocates—whether you're starting from scratch or evolving an existing system. Our consulting approach is grounded in field experience, not theory.

Trail system strategy
We help define long-term trail goals, evaluate land use priorities, and offer actionable recommendations based on site conditions, access points, and user demand.
