Trail Fixing Collective, LLC
We’re a worker-owned cooperative of professional trailbuilders from the White Mountains. Together, our member-owners offer many seasons worth of professional trailwork experience to land managers across the region.
Our Work.
TFC, LLC excels in meeting three important needs: efficient trail maintenance, high-quality backcountry trail reconstruction, and the creation of sustainably-designed trails. We provide stone and timber solutions for deteriorating backcountry trails, and pride ourselves on the longevity and natural aesthetic of our work. Our critical annual maintenance keeps the trail networks we love accessible. The new trails we build are made to be used for generations to come.
-
Our new trail design and construction services take your project from flag line to finished trail. We design our trails for accessibility and maintenance longevity. The non-mechanized, hand tool-based construction methods we use minimize impacts to landscape and ecology. Our finished trails complement their environment and will continue to for years to come.

We offer experienced skillsets in backcountry masonry and stonework, and specialize in technical projects in hard-to-reach locations. We have the ability to harvest, move and carpenter native wooden trail structures on site or using imported dimensional wood.
When completed, the structures we create are enduringly beautiful, look at home in our New England forests, and are a generational investment in the sustainability of your trails.

Our crew carries on the time-honored, and often undervalued, annual work of clearing backcountry trails by axe. We remove winter blowdowns, clear drainages, and standardize trail corridors, preparing the trails for the summer ahead. Annual maintenance services open trail networks each spring efficiently and help to sustain existing trail infrastructure.
We're a 100% worker-owned collective of professional trailbuilders.
