RecConnect Workshops
Great Trails training tailored to your needs and site conditions.


We provide seminars and workshops for groups or individuals. Through technology and information transfer, we can save our clients time and money by not having to “reinvent the wheel.” We have been there and done that and know what works and doesn’t. Our training incorporates a creative mix of PowerPoint presentations, interactive discussions, and field demonstrations so that attendees not only learn the theory but also experience the practice. What are the opportunities? What are the constraints? What funding and resources do we need to accomplish our goals? We custom design each workshop to meet the needs of our client and our tag-team approach to presentations infuses interest and energy into each group.
