TRAIL TALES The Laughter, the Adventure, the Woes, the Memories of 35 years of Trailbuilding By Roger Bell In Trail Tales, Roger Bell brings to vigorous life his 35 years as a trailbuilder. With humor and wisdom, he confesses his misadventures as a rookie, relives hair-rising stories from mountain tops and deserts, and spins yarns of quirky characters they met along the way.

A leader in the trails community, he frequently speaks and writes about trail issues and innovations. He holds a doctorate in Higher Education from the University of Washington and lives in Redlands, California, with his wife, Carol. “This book shows trailbuilders as they really are: part cowboy, part naturalist, part inventor, part cat (nine lives), part crazy—but mostly the best characters you could ever hope to work with.” - Troy Scott Parker, President, Natureshape, and author of Natural Surface Trails by Design Click here to order

"OPEN SPACE" AND "URBAN TRAILS" 
A NEW URGENCY

Without thoughtful public policy deliberation and fast action, these vital areas for outdoor recreation and environmental appreciation may be lost forever.

What follows is a perspective about how this might occur with our help as a private company offering trail- services on a consulting basis or as construction contractors.
