Great Redwood Trail Agency
Trail Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the GRT is critical to the overall success and safety of the trail. To provide a consistent trail user experience, GRTA will work with partner cities, counties, and land managers to develop a coordinated maintenance strategy:
Plan
Develop and implement a maintenance
plan and ensure its adequate funding.
Safety
Monitor safety and security of the
trail through routine inspections.
Maintenance
Anticipate and oversee major
maintenance and rehabilitation efforts.
Neighbor
Manage neighbor issues using fencing, signage, vegetative screening, and other methods as necessary.
Contact
Act as the trail manager point of contact for the public and respond to issues or concerns raised by trail users.
Policy
Preserve the linear integrity of the corridor
and set policy for non-trail uses of the corridor.
Long-Term Maintenance
The long-term maintenance of the trail is as important as designing and constructing it. Trail management falls into three overlapping systems: trail governance to determine roles and responsibilities among many different agencies, trail operations to anticipate and handle issues, and trail maintenance to keep the trail clean, safe, and operable. GRTA works closely with tribal, federal, state, county, and local partners to plan, build, operate, and care for trail segments along the corridor.
