Women Trail Builders Research: Breaking Barriers and Building Better Trails

The world of trail building is changing. Traditionally seen as a male-dominated space, the industry is beginning to evolve, thanks in part to growing conversations around continuing to make the space welcoming for all. But how far have we come, and what still needs to be done? That’s exactly what our new Women Trail Builders Research set out to uncover.

Trail Builder Magazine conducted an in-depth study exploring the perceptions, barriers, and experiences of women in the trail building industry. The findings? Eye-opening. While progress is being made, significant challenges remain, and strategic communication is key to making trail building more inclusive.
