Trail Fixing Collective, LLC

We’re a worker-owned cooperative of professional trailbuilders from the White Mountains. Together, our members offer our more than 30 seasons 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 new trails. We provide scalable stone and timber solutions for deteriorating backcountry trails, and pride ourselves on the longevity and timeless beauty 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 flagging to finished trail. We design our trails for accessibility and maintenance longevity. The construction methods we use minimize impacts to landscape and ecology. Our finished trails complement their environment and will for years to come.

  • We offer more than 30 combined seasons of backcountry masonry and stonecraft experience, and specialize in highly technical projects in hard-to-reach locations. Our backcountry logger-carpenters provide aesthetic, sustainable solutions to bridge obstacles stone structures cannot.

    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 century-old annual work of clearing backcountry trails by axe. We removes winter blowdowns, clear drainages, standardize trail corridors, and prepare the trails for the summer ahead. Our critical annual maintenance services open trail networks efficiently and sustain existing trail infrastructure.
