Root heaves are a common issue on paved multi-use trails that can make trails inaccessible, unused or cause permanent and life altering injuries to users. This webinar focuses on lessons learned from removing over 1,000 bumps from an 18-mile paved trail. The webinar includes discussion of an effective technique, bump removal options and their trade-offs, equipment, cost, and repair durability.
This project was created in collaboration with the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC). This project was supported by a grant from the Northern Border Regional Commission. Funding for this project was made possible in part with a Rural Business Development Grant from USDA Rural Development.
