TRC Trails is at the forefront of planning and as such, we understand what makes a great trail experience. 

We are passionate in delivering exceptional sustainable trail experiences or evaluating existing experiences to take them from good to great. 

As avid trail users ourselves, we have paired the right mix of expertise, skills and understanding of what constitutes a good trail experience to enable us to construct excellent trails.

TRC Trails is committed to sustainable trails that have minimal impact and resist erosion through proper design, construction and maintenance and complement their surrounding environment.

As trail professional trail builders we place great focus on understanding what are the needs of the trail user, placing trails in the right place and ensuring trails are fun, fit for purpose and sit within the very best sustainable trail corridor.

Failure to address trail management and maintenance in the early stages of trail planning may result in greater costs and damage the very environmental, economic and social values that make trails so important.
