VAST 2023 Spring Construction Course.
Thank you to the volunteers for your time and dedication to helping make the Vermont trail system a safe and enjoyable place.
With being mindful of volunteers and your time, VAST has a different format for the 2023 Spring Construction Course. This year’s course will be in an online format called Canvas.
The course can be completed in the comfort of your home on your computer, smartphone or tablet (or iPad) at a time that works best for you. The course can be completed within a couple of hours and has options to stop and resume later.
The Spring Construction Course includes brief videos on topics such as an Overview of the VAST Website, Club Resources, Signing, Equipment Grant-In Aid & Construction Grant-in Aid, and Debrushing. Below are links to videos that were included in the VAST 2023 Spring Construction Couse.
