Скачать или смотреть CoMTB Seminar - April 2025: Co-produced MTB trails and the Professionalisation of Trail Building

In the latest offering from the CoMTB seminar series, presentations focus on the practice of trail building, asking: (1) can the increasing professionalisation of trail building help to (re) connect people with meaningful and 'craft-based' work that encourage communal engagement and ecological stewardship? And, (2): can public and/or state authorities play a part in this? Both presentations will ruminate on the wider role that mountain biking can play in addressing some of the world's most pressing social problems.
