Presented by Todd Branham, Owner of Long Cane Trails

Todd will share his knowledge of Sustainable Trail Construction Principals using different techniques like rolling grade dips, grade reversals, rolling crown switchback turns and downhill out slopes to shed water from the trail and avoid erosion.

Todd Branham has built more than 360 miles of multi-use trails in 20 years working with land managers, private landowners, special use groups and volunteers. His firm specializes in hybrid projects where the customer gets educated on the techniques of building and maintaining a trail, then his firm does the heavy lifting, and the customer does the small touches and landscaping on the trail. Projects like the ½ mile loop trail in the wooded area behind Brevard Elementary involved volunteers to help prepare and finish the trail. Volunteers also play a pivotal role on current work to add 2 miles of Bracken Preserve trail.
