Trail Blazing Research

Before I could begin ordering the trail blazers, I did extensive research on what type of trail blazers were the most effective and whether I should use screws or nails to post them. The first informational website I found highlighted the basics of trail blazing and where they should be posted. The following is a link to the website: http://sectionhiker.com/trail-blazing-conventions-and-guidelines/

The next article I discovered was the most informative and helpful article. It outlines the different types of trails, trail safety, and the multiple different types of trail markers. Overall this article helped me determine what types of trail markers to use along with how deep I needed to drill the screws into each tree. The following is a link to the PDF file: https://parks.ny.gov/recreation/trails/documents/TrailsTechnicalSignageGuidelines.pdf
