In this project, we created a comprehensive curriculumconcerning trails within the White Mountain National Forest,focusing particularly on the alpine zone on behalf of theWorld Trails Network - Hub for the Americas. Morespecifically, we researched common themes concerninguser experience and trail maintenance practices. Throughinterviews with leaders in trail science, constructivistlearning, environmental ethics, and previous curriculumparticipants, as well as survey, focus group, andobservational data, we developed a framework. It consistsof a Google Drive folder with a content guide, lesson topics,and insightful questions to guide discussion. A GoogleClassroom page is where participants of this curriculummay find readings and discussion boards to facilitatereflection.
