GET TO KNOW DIRTT3.0: ONLINE WEBINAR

Trails across Europe are under growing pressure. Climate change is taking its toll, more people are heading outdoors, and structured training for the people who build and maintain trails is still hard to find.

DIRTT3.0 sets out to change that by making trail building training accessible to everyone, from new volunteers to experienced professionals. The project will introduce a new entry-level syllabus, offer free online learning modules through a European Digital Learning Hub, and connect vocational schools that teach trail building together across borders.

Sustainability runs through it all. Biodiversity, nature restoration and regenerative trail building are part of every training level, and the project turns environmental knowledge into practical tools trail builders can use in the field.

Join the online kick-off on Thursday 3 December to meet the partners, learn about the work so far and share your views in the Q&A.
